G8KEPR vs WSO2
WSO2 API Manager is a mature enterprise API platform with deep compliance certifications (SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, PCI DSS), native LDAP/AD/SAML integration, multi-gateway management, and a growing AI gateway in Choreo — including prompt injection detection and PII masking. Its MCP support generates MCP servers from REST APIs rather than securing them. G8KEPR goes deeper on the AI security surface: dedicated ML classifiers for the full threat spectrum, MCP security covering content inspection and sandboxing, and a Verification Engine that validates every output before delivery — capabilities WSO2's gateway-layer guardrail approach doesn't reach.

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
