HiddenLayer is an artificial intelligence (AI) security platform for discovering, testing, and protecting AI models, applications, and autonomous agents. The platform addresses risks including prompt injection, unsafe tool use, model extraction, data leakage, malicious model components, and other attacks across the AI lifecycle.

Key Capabilities

AI asset discovery: Builds an inventory of AI models and workflows across environments to identify unapproved or untracked AI deployments.
Model supply-chain security: Scans models before deployment for malware, vulnerabilities, backdoors, and unknown components.
AI attack simulation: Tests models and AI applications against adversarial attack scenarios to identify weaknesses before production deployment.
Runtime protection: Detects and responds to attacks and unsafe behavior in production AI systems.
Agent and MCP security: Protects autonomous agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP)-based systems from prompt injection, unsafe tool execution, and harmful autonomous actions.
Security integrations: Connects with cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, data platforms, security information and event management (SIEM) systems, security orchestration tools, API gateways, and MLOps tools.

Audience & Use Cases

Audience: Security leaders, security operations teams, AI governance teams, machine learning engineers, and application developers.
Use Cases: Organizations can use HiddenLayer to establish an AI asset inventory, assess models before deployment, test generative AI applications, enforce runtime safeguards, and investigate security events involving AI systems.

Technical Specifications

Deployment model: The vendor describes the platform as agentless and model-agnostic.
Data handling: According to HiddenLayer, deployment does not require access to model weights, prompts, customer data, or proprietary intellectual property.
Coverage: The platform supports AI discovery, supply-chain security, attack simulation, and runtime security.
