G8KEPR vs Wallarm
Wallarm is a battle-hardened API security platform with deep ML-based threat detection, mTLS support, DDoS protection, and a pioneering A2AS (Authenticated Prompts) framework for agentic AI security. It focuses on threat detection and traffic analysis rather than routing or output validation — and it integrates as a security overlay on top of existing gateways rather than replacing them. G8KEPR is the complementary unified layer: full AI/LLM gateway for routing and cost management, MCP scope enforcement and sandboxing beyond Wallarm's traffic-inspection model, and a Verification Engine that validates what comes out — structural and semantic correctness — not just what comes in.

The Four Pillars
G8KEPR is a unified platform. Four capabilities working together that no single-purpose tool can match.
AI Gateway
Multi-LLM routing, automatic failover, cost tracking, prompt caching
MCP Security
Secure every AI agent tool call — registration, auditing, sandboxing
AI Threat Detection
Prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, PII leakage — 1,500+ ML patterns
Verification Engine
Structural, semantic, and constraint verification of every AI output
