Enkrypt AI Recognized as a Representative Provider in Gartner’s MCP Gateways Research
We’re so excited to share that Enkrypt AI has been recognized as a Representative Provider in Gartner’s Innovation Insight: MCP Gateways, September 2025. This acknowledgement underscores the importance of safe, scalable AI adoption in today’s rapid enterprise landscape.
The Growing Need for MCP Governance
Model Context Protocol (MCP) adoption is accelerating at the enterprise scale, with over 16,000 MCP servers being delivered just this year alone. While this growth demonstrates tremendous opportunities, it also introduces new risks:
- Complexity and hidden vulnerabilities in unmanaged deployments
- Unexpected cost spikes from inefficient MCP implementations
- Limited visibility and security gaps, since traditional browser and network tools aren’t designed for MCP traffic
Early adopters of this technology have experienced limitations due to the specification’s lack of mandatory enterprise management and governance features. Notably, authentication and authorization are optional, which in turn can lead to security vulnerabilities and operational inefficiencies. In order to address these challenges, it’s vital for software engineering and security leaders to evaluate and implement MCP gateways, ensuring that MCP adoption is both scalable and secure.
How Enkrypt AI Addresses These Challenges:
At Enkrypt AI, we recognize that AI adoption needs to be both safe and scalable. Our platform automatically detects, removes, and monitors risks before they escalate, offering enterprises:
- Complete visibility: Monitor all AI and MCP traffic in real time, across internal and external deployments.
- Governance and compliance: Enforce policies and auditing processes that align with enterprise security standards.
- Cost efficiency: Optimize token usage and resource allocation to prevent unexpected cost spikes.
- Safe scale: Deploy and manage AI models with confidence, reducing operational risk while accelerating innovation.
Our solutions enable organizations to focus on innovation rather than firefighting, ensuring AI adoption supports business goals securely and efficiently. We handle the problem before it even gets a chance to start, eliminating the operational headaches and allowing your teams to focus on innovation instead.
