The honest brief

HiddenLayer

Deterministic runtime classifiers sit outside the inference path, adding no latency and surviving attacks that fool the model.

  • Model-file malware/integrity scanning
  • Out-of-path runtime detection
  • Covers gen, agentic, and predictive AI
  • Automated red-teaming + posture mgmt
  • Opaque, quote-based enterprise pricing
  • Hard to deploy, needs ML/infra team
  • Learning curve for AI-security newcomers
  • Docs thin on advanced config

Mindgard

Attacker-aligned testing built from academic security research, covering models, agents, and multimodal systems — not just prompt-injection checklists.

  • Research-grade attack library
  • CI/CD and Burp Suite integration
  • Covers agents + multimodal models
  • SOC 2 Type 2 certified
  • No public pricing
  • Enterprise-oriented sales motion
  • Smaller vendor than incumbents
