HiddenLayer protects AI models from adversarial attacks, model theft, and evasion techniques with a model-agnostic security layer requiring no architecture changes.
HiddenLayer is an AI security company founded in 2022 that raised $50M in Series A funding to protect machine learning models from adversarial attacks and exploitation. The platform sits between AI models and the inputs they receive, monitoring for adversarial examples, prompt injection attacks, model inversion attempts, and evasion techniques designed to manipulate model outputs. HiddenLayer also protects against model theft through model extraction detection and intellectual property protection controls that alert teams when adversaries attempt to clone proprietary models. The platform is model-agnostic and integrates with existing ML infrastructure without requiring changes to model architectures or inference pipelines. HiddenLayer serves enterprises in financial services, defense, and technology sectors where AI models process sensitive data or make high-stakes decisions. The company's security research team regularly publishes findings on novel AI attack techniques, building credibility as a thought leader in AI security alongside its commercial platform.
Santa Clara cybersecurity platform (NASDAQ: PANW) $8.0B FY2024 revenue (+16%); platformization 3,600+ customers, Cortex XSIAM AI SOC, $4.2B NGSSAR +42%, competing with CrowdStrike and Microsoft Defender.
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. is a Santa Clara, California-based cybersecurity platform company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: PANW) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — providing network security, cloud security, and AI-driven security operations through three integrated security platforms: Strata (network security — next-generation firewalls, SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access), Prisma Cloud (cloud security posture management, cloud workload protection, CSPM/CWPP), and Cortex (AI-driven security operations — XSIAM extended security intelligence and automation management, XDR endpoint detection and response, XSOAR security orchestration) through approximately 15,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024 (ending July 2024), Palo Alto Networks reported revenues of $8.0 billion (+16% year-over-year), with next-generation security Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR — Prisma Cloud and Cortex subscriptions) growing 42% to $4.2 billion as large enterprise and government customers consolidated security toolsets onto Palo Alto Networks' platform versus maintaining dozens of point solution security vendors. CEO Nikesh Arora (joined 2018 from SoftBank as Chairman and CEO) has executed the "platformization" strategy — convincing large enterprise security buyers to replace 10-15 individual security vendors (email security, endpoint protection, cloud workload protection, network detection) with a consolidated Palo Alto Networks platform contract that provides 80% of point-solution capabilities at 50% of the total cost — using the first-year transition economics to accelerate platform adoption through deferred commitment offers (paying a lower platform price in year 1 in exchange for multi-year platform commitment in years 2-4).
