API Security Built for E-Commerce & Retail
Product searches, cart updates, checkout flows — your entire revenue stream runs through APIs. G8KEPR stops bots, fraud, and abuse with ML detection across 24 attack categories (94,000+ training samples) before they impact your bottom line.
Understanding the threats to your revenue — and how to stop them
Every customer interaction is an API call. Product searches, inventory checks, cart operations, and checkout flows — all powered by APIs that attackers are actively targeting.
GET /api/products?q=shoesGET /api/inventory/SKU-12345POST /api/cart/addPOST /api/checkoutE-commerce APIs are prime targets. Attackers know that every API request represents potential revenue — and they're exploiting that at scale with automated attacks.
Intelligent protection at every step of the customer journey
POST /api/checkout {card: "4242..."}✓ 99.7% legitimate traffic approved • Bots blocked instantly • Zero customer friction
Opt-in ML bot classification logs automated scrapers harvesting your prices, inventory, and product data. Heuristic fingerprint analysis is available on demand.
Detect card testing attacks before fraudsters validate stolen cards against your checkout. Velocity analysis and pattern matching catch fraud rings.
Stop bots from hoarding inventory during flash sales. Enforce fair cart limits, detect automated purchasing, and protect limited drops.
How G8KEPR blocks actual threats to your revenue
GET /api/products?page=1...50000POST /api/checkout (500 attempts, 2 min)POST /api/cart/add (100x in 3 seconds)POST /api/coupons/validate (10,000 attempts)Zero code changes to your store APIs or AI agent stack. Target: Sub-5ms gateway proxy overhead on cached, single-region paths.
Not in Anthropic's MCP spec. Not in API gateways. Not in WAFs. Platform-level additions built for e-commerce workloads.
MCP servers the proxy launches locally (stdio, off unless the operator sets MCP_STDIO_SERVERS_ENABLED) run in their own session (setsid), drop to nobody if started as root, and get no-new-privs, ambient capabilities cleared and RLIMIT_AS/FSIZE/NOFILE/NPROC ceilings. Remote (HTTP) servers are proxied and inspected, not sandboxed, and network egress is not filtered.
SHA-256 hash of every tool definition pinned at tools/list. On every tools/call, the cached definition is re-hashed and compared. Drift raises MCPRugPullDetectedError, blocks execution, publishes a CRITICAL event.
Statistical, not threshold-based. Z-score > 3.0 against per-hour time-of-day baselines (Black Friday vs Tuesday morning). 4 overlapping sliding windows (1m/5m/15m/1h). Progressive recovery (10→25→50→100%).
Findings from all four pillars land on one threat-event bus. A compound correlator groups them in 5-minute windows by correlation ID and by organization + client IP, and raises one incident when they match a known multi-stage pattern: a prompt injection at the gateway plus an SSRF probe and a path traversal at the API from the same client become a single critical Lethal Trifecta finding.
HMAC-SHA256 hash chain on authentication and domain events (since 2026-09-13), each entry signing the previous. Three verification levels (full / single / last-N). Control mapping (not an attestation) for SOC 2 CC7.2 and PCI DSS Req 10.5 cardholder-data audit.
Cross-session attack detection: 6-dimension risk score (max 110) across tool sensitivity, data volume, burst, denials, prior detections, and tool diversity. Catches coordinated bot waves and 24h slow-and-low patterns.
Every pillar publishes its findings to one threat event bus. The compound correlator joins findings on the same request by correlation ID, and separate requests from one client by organization + client IP.

Opt-in ML classification labels each request human or bot and logs the verdict; it records, it does not block. Heuristic fingerprint analysis runs on demand through the API.
Behavioral fingerprint scoringAuto-scale from 3 to 30+ nodes in under 60 seconds. Handle 100K+ requests per minute without adding latency. Pre-warm for expected traffic spikes.
Scales to 100K req/minBehavioral analysis blocks bots without CAPTCHAs. Real customers shop seamlessly while threats are stopped invisibly.
No CAPTCHA frictionPre-mapped to 55 PCI DSS v4.0 controls across 12 requirements. G8KEPR is not a card-data vault: records of a screened request can keep part of its content, card numbers included. A control crosswalk maps them to overlapping SOC 2 controls.
55 PCI DSS v4.0 controls mappedWorks with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, or custom headless. Integrate in minutes, not months.
