HiddenLayer is a specialized enterprise security platform designed to protect machine learning models and AI systems throughout their lifecycle. It helps organizations address security risks without requiring access to raw training data or proprietary model weights.

The platform provides security across AI applications, helping protect organizations against threats such as model theft, data poisoning, adversarial attacks, and shadow AI. Its agentless and model-agnostic architecture works across different environments and third-party models without affecting performance.

How HiddenLayer Works

  • Connect: HiddenLayer integrates with existing cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and model registries to discover AI assets across the environment.
  • Scan: Its Model Scanner analyzes model files for security risks and generates an AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM).
  • Protect: HiddenLayer provides non-invasive production monitoring to identify and block threats by analyzing input-output patterns without requiring access to underlying algorithms or proprietary model weights.

How We Rated HiddenLayer
