HiddenLayer
Application
Protects the orchestration layer connecting AI coding agents to tools, memory, files and enterprise systems, detecting agentic-specific threats like memory poisoning and prompt injection with platform-aware controls for Claude Code, Cursor and GitHub Copilot.
Runs adversarial attacks against a customer's own models to find where they break before an attacker does.
Inventories every model, agent and AI workflow running in an organisation, so security teams know what exists before defending it.
Watches models in production and blocks attacks against them as they happen.
Scans models an organisation builds, buys or borrows for tampering and malicious content before they reach production.
Platform
Security platform purpose-built for AI systems: discovers models and AI supply chains across an organisation, simulates attacks against them, and detects runtime abuse such as model theft, data poisoning and adversarial inputs.
IBM
Application
Protects enterprise data across AI agents, applications and endpoints against agentic-AI, regulatory and post-quantum risks.
Full-stack application and infrastructure observability powered by agentic AI, including automatic discovery/mapping of GenAI workflows and AI-driven Smart Alerts to reduce alert fatigue.
AI-driven robotic process automation for building intelligent bots that automate business processes, with AI-embedded resilience built into the RPA runtime.
Visual data-science and machine-learning platform for building predictive models, with advanced algorithms, model deployment and open-source framework integration.
Document intelligence platform using OCR, NLP enrichments (entity/sentiment/emotion/category extraction) and LLM integration to automate information discovery from enterprise documents.
Platform
An agentic AI IT-operations platform that unifies observability, optimization and automated remediation across applications, infrastructure and networks.
Studio for building, tuning and deploying model-based applications on IBM and third-party foundation models.
A governance platform providing real-time visibility, policy enforcement and accountability tracking for AI models and agents across the AI lifecycle.
No counterpart
