HiddenLayer is an enterprise security platform for AI and machine learning that scans model files in formats like pickle, ONNX, and safetensors to detect backdoors, malicious deserialization, and tampering before deployment. It also provides AI runtime detection and response along with automated adversarial red-teaming across predictive, generative, and agentic systems. It targets enterprises and regulated industries securing their ML pipelines, with model-file scanning as its main differentiator.

EgoSecure Endpoint (now Matrix42 EgoSecure Data Protection) is a modular endpoint data-protection and DLP platform that combines device control, application control, on-the-fly encryption, data loss prevention, and access control under one centrally managed agent. It's aimed at IT and security teams in mid-size and large organizations that need to enforce data-security policies and meet compliance standards like GDPR across all endpoints. Its differentiator is breadth: rather than a single point tool, it bundles the full range of preventive endpoint controls (audit, encryption, DLP, device/app control, power management) into one console.
