HiddenLayer

Model scanner, attack simulation, and runtime firewall for agentic, generative, and predictive AI.

Proof of life. Selected to support the US DOE Prometheus initiative under the Genesis Mission, August 2026

HiddenLayer inventories AI apps and models, scans the artifacts they rest on, then red-teams and guards them in production. Runtime sits as a firewall that watches prompts, tool calls, and agent sessions without needing the customer's training data. Air-gapped packaging is aimed at classified and disconnected shops that cannot send model traffic to a SaaS broker.
