As AI systems power critical decisions and customer experiences, the risks they introduce must be addressed. From prompt injection attacks to adversarial manipulation and supply chain threats, AI applications face vulnerabilities that traditional cybersecurity can’t defend against. HiddenLayer was built to solve this problem, and today, we hold one of the world’s strongest intellectual property portfolios in AI security.
A Patent Portfolio Built for the Entire AI Lifecycle
Our innovations protect AI models from development through deployment. With 25 granted patents, 56 pending and planned U.S. applications, and 31 international filings, HiddenLayer has established a global foundation for AI security leadership.
This portfolio is the foundation of our strategic product lines:
- AIDR: Provides runtime protection for generative, predictive, and Agentic applications against privacy leaks, and output manipulation.
- Model Scanner: Delivering supply chain security and integrity verification for machine learning models.
- Automated Red Teaming: Continuously stress-tests AI systems with techniques that simulate real-world adversarial attacks, uncovering hidden vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them.
Patented Innovation in Action
Each granted patent reinforces our core capabilities:
- LLM Protection (14 patents): Multi-layered defenses against prompt injection, data leakage, and PII exposure.
- Model Integrity (5 patents): Cryptographic provenance tracking and hidden backdoor detection for supply chain safety.
- Runtime Monitoring (2 patents): Detecting and disrupting adversarial attacks in real time.
- Encryption (4 patents): Advanced ML-driven multi-layer encryption with hidden compartments for maximum data protection.
Why It Matters
In AI security, patents are proof of solving problems no one else has. With one of the industry’s largest portfolios, HiddenLayer demonstrates technical depth and the foresight to anticipate emerging threats. Our breadth of granted patents signals to customers and partners that they can rely on tested, defensible innovations, not unproven claims.
- Stay compliant with global regulations:
With patents covering advanced privacy protections and policy-driven PII redaction, organizations can meet strict data protection standards like GDPR, CCPA, and upcoming AI regulatory frameworks. Built-in audit trails and configurable privacy budgets ensure that compliance is a natural part of AI governance, not a roadblock. - Defend against sophisticated AI threats before they cause damage:
Our patented methods for detecting prompt injections, model inversion, hidden backdoors, and adversarial attacks provide multi-layered defense across the entire AI lifecycle. These capabilities give organizations early warning and automated response mechanisms that neutralize threats before they can be exploited. - Accelerate adoption of AI technologies without compromising security:
By embedding patented security innovations directly into model deployment and runtime environments, HiddenLayer eliminates trade-offs between innovation and safety. Customers can confidently adopt cutting-edge GenAI, multimodal models, and third-party ML assets knowing that the integrity, confidentiality, and resilience of their AI systems are safeguarded.
Together, these protections transform AI from a potential liability into a secure growth driver, enabling enterprises, governments, and innovators to harness the full value of artificial intelligence.
The Future of AI Security
HiddenLayer’s patent portfolio is only possible because of the ingenuity of our research team, the minds who anticipate tomorrow’s threats and design the defenses to stop them. Their work has already produced industry-defining protections, and they continue to push boundaries with innovations in multimodal attack detection, agentic AI security, and automated vulnerability discovery.
By investing in this research talent, HiddenLayer ensures we’re not just keeping pace with AI’s evolution but shaping the future of how it can be deployed safely, responsibly, and at scale.
