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.

Katana Cloud Manufacturing (Katana Cloud Inventory) is a cloud platform for real-time inventory and production management. It lets makers and small manufacturers plan and schedule manufacturing orders, allocate raw materials, track stock across locations, and manage purchasing and order fulfillment. It syncs sales and production by integrating with e-commerce, accounting, and shipping tools.
