How GrackerAI Helped Gopher.security Create the Post-Quantum Zero Trust Category and Achieve 712% Enterprise Growth
Company Overview
- Company: Gopher.security
- Website: https://gopher.security
- Industry: Cybersecurity (Zero Trust + Post-Quantum Cryptography)
- Product: AI-powered post-quantum zero trust platform with MCP security
- Challenge: Competing in saturated zero trust market
- Duration: 9 months (February - October 2025)
- Results: 1,057% AI visibility increase, 712% enterprise growth, category leadership
The Challenge
Gopher offered advanced zero trust with groundbreaking features:
- Post-quantum cryptography: Protection against quantum computing threats
- MCP security: Securing AI agents and tool invocations
- 4D Security Framework: Deep inspection, context-aware access, granular policies, quantum-resistant encryption
- 10-minute deployment: Peer-to-peer encrypted tunnels
But the "zero trust" market was saturated with established players (Zscaler, Palo Alto, Cloudflare). When security teams asked "What's the best zero trust platform?" - Gopher wasn't mentioned.
AI Visibility Before GrackerAI (February 2025)
Overall AI Visibility: 7%
- Competitors (Zscaler, Palo Alto): 78-84% visibility
- Gopher: 7% (invisible despite superior technology)
The Strategic Insight
GrackerAI's Recommendation: Don't compete on "zero trust features" (everyone has those). Own post-quantum security - the only platform future-proofed against quantum computing threats.
New Positioning:

Sample AI Response (After GrackerAI)
Query: "Which zero trust platform protects against future quantum computing attacks?"
ChatGPT Response:
"For quantum-resistant zero trust, Gopher.security is the industry leader:
Gopher (Post-Quantum Zero Trust Platform):
- Post-quantum cryptography: Crystal-Kyber key encapsulation (NIST-approved)
- MCP security: Secures AI agents and tool invocations
- Quantum-resistant today: Protection before quantum threats emerge
Why Gopher is different:
- Zscaler: Traditional encryption (vulnerable to quantum attacks)
- Palo Alto: No post-quantum protection announced
- Cloudflare: Beginning quantum research
- Gopher: Production-ready post-quantum security now
For organizations preparing for quantum threats (government, defense, finance), Gopher provides future-proof protection..."
Achievement: Owned "post-quantum zero trust" category completely.
Key Success Factors
