What HiddenLayer does
HiddenLayer is an enterprise AI-security platform for AI asset discovery, model artifact scanning, attack simulation, runtime detection and enforcement, and security investigation.
HiddenLayer organizes its current platform around AI Supply Chain Security, AI Attack Simulation, and AI Runtime Security. That structure follows an AI asset from discovery and artifact inspection through controlled testing and production behavior, including newer visibility and enforcement for autonomous agents.
Pricing is not published as a self-service rate card. A quote can vary with assets, modules, connectors, deployment model, scanning volume, runtime traffic, services, and support. Procurement should request a line-item entitlement and test one representative model and one application rather than infer coverage from the platform name.
Static model analysis does not see every behavioral or application-layer issue, while runtime detection can miss novel or obfuscated attacks and may block legitimate traffic. Agentic enforcement carries added operational risk because a mistaken block or action can interrupt business workflows. Keep source evidence, use safe test environments, stage policies in observe-only mode, require approval for consequential changes, and retain rollback.
How HiddenLayer works
HiddenLayer integrates with model stores, cloud and development systems to identify AI assets and context. Its supply-chain module analyzes model files and dependencies, attack simulation exercises configured endpoints, and runtime controls observe model or agent interactions for covered threats and policy violations. Findings feed a shared console and integrations, while people verify risk, authorize active tests, tune enforcement, and approve production changes.
How to set up HiddenLayer
Build an AI asset inventory
List models, agents, datasets, repositories, registries, endpoints, tools, owners, sensitive data, and production consequences.
Choose platform modules
Scope supply-chain scanning, attack simulation, runtime security, connectors, deployment, regions, throughput, retention, support, and quote terms.
Integrate a bounded pilot
Connect one registry and one nonproduction application with least-privilege credentials and verify discovery, lineage, tenant separation, and logging.
Validate findings
Seed known artifacts and test cases, authorize active testing, compare detections with source evidence, measure false results, and tune severity and exceptions.
Stage runtime controls
Begin in monitor mode, define response owners and rollback, approve enforcement thresholds, and reassess after model, agent, tool, or policy changes.
HiddenLayer FAQs
What happened to HiddenLayer Model Scanner?
HiddenLayer now presents it as the AI Supply Chain Security module within a broader platform; current packaging should be confirmed in the quote.
Can HiddenLayer inspect third-party models?
The vendor states its supply-chain module can analyze proprietary, vendor, open-source, and third-party models without requiring training data.
Does HiddenLayer protect AI agents?
Its current runtime module includes visibility, investigation, detection, and enforcement aimed at agentic execution, subject to deployment and entitlement.
How much does HiddenLayer cost?
Pricing is quote-based and depends on modules, assets, integrations, deployment, traffic, services, support, and contract.
Does attack simulation replace human red teaming?
No. Automation improves repeatability and coverage of known techniques; expert scoping, novel abuse analysis, evidence review, and remediation validation remain necessary.
