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.
OpenAI
Application
Assistant for chat, web search, file analysis and image generation, used in the browser and in desktop and mobile apps; developers can build custom in-chat apps for it via the Apps SDK, built on the Model Context Protocol.
OpenAI's agentic web browser. Deprecated on 9 August 2026, with its browser-based agentic capabilities moved into ChatGPT and Codex.
