🚨 The 2025 AI Threat Landscape Report is here. Our latest report breaks down the real-world tactics attackers are using against AI, the emerging risks organizations need to know, and how security teams can stay ahead without slowing innovation. 89% of IT leaders say AI models in production are critical to success. 74% of organizations confirmed an AI-related breach in 2024—up from 67% last year. 45% said breaches came from malware in models pulled from public repositories. The good news? 96% of organizations are increasing their AI security budgets in 2025. What’s inside the report? - The latest AI attack trends and real-world breaches - The material impact of AI security failures - Why governance clarity is critical—and still lacking - Expert recommendations to secure AI in 2025 This report is the cumulation of all things AI security from the last year. Our research team worked tirelessly to track, document, and analyze AI threats as they occurred because threat actors move fast, but defensives can move faster. Get the insights you need to stay ahead. 🔗 Read the full report here:  https://lnkd.in/gtmcGamU 🔗 Read the press release here: https://lnkd.in/gNGV9Dr8 #AIThreatReport #AIsecurity #AIThreatReport #AIRisk #AIThreat

Last week, the HiddenLayer team came together in our hometown, Austin, TX, for our twice annual offsite to share new ideas, product innovations, and of course, have some serious fun.   🤠 Our teams battled for the title of guacamole's top chef, took to horseback riding, trapshooting, and archery, hosted local food trucks, made cowboy hats, and even had the opportunity to befriend some Texas longhorns.   🤝 As always, we partnered with a charity to give back to the local community. A big shoutout to Caritas Austin for presenting to our team and letting us participate in their incredible mission to aid the Austin homeless community. ⚡️ Lastly, we announced HiddenLayer's first annual company-wide hackathon. We can't wait to see what innovations this team comes up with next! Here’s to building the future of AI security together. And having a blast while doing it.

Our Chief Security & Trust Officer, Malcolm Harkins, shared insights from HiddenLayer’s 2025 AI Threat Landscape Report on the ConversingLabs Podcast. 🎙️ In this clip, Malcolm speaks with ReversingLabs about why traditional security frameworks aren't enough for emerging AI threats and how to navigate the rising threats of AI best. Watch the full episode for deeper insights on AI-driven risks, software supply chain vulnerabilities, rethinking enterprise AI governance, and more.

Before your GenAI systems go live, are you confident they're resilient to real-world attacks? At HiddenLayer, we’ve worked with leading organizations to run red team engagements that go beyond surface-level assessments. Our latest blog breaks down best practices for AI red teaming, covering frameworks like the OWASP Top 10 and the GenAI Red Teaming Guide, along with lessons learned from real-world testing. 🔎 Learn how to:  - Define effective testing objectives - Balance automation with human ingenuity - Build playbooks that scale - Turn findings into actionable security improvements 📖 Read the full blog: https://lnkd.in/gyWZts2Y #AIsecurity #LLMsecurity #AIRedTeam #OWASP

🔍  How would you know if someone deployed an AI model in your environment without approval? That’s the question we set out to answer in our latest blog. Using DeepSeek-R1 as a case study, we used our ShadowGenes and ShadowLogic methodologies to fingerprint the model by analyzing its architecture. What we found: - DeepSeek-R1 shares its core architecture with V3. - Unique use of Rotary Embeddings and Mixture-of-Experts patterns allow for precise identification. - Our signatures matched R1 and V3—and only those—out of nearly 50,000 public models. 👉 Whether you're monitoring for unauthorized deployments or tracing a model's origin, understanding model genealogy is rapidly becoming a security imperative Read the full breakdown: https://lnkd.in/g-G9VC7h #AIsecurity #GenAI #ModelGovernance #MLSec #DeepSeek #AIvisibility

Gartner predicts that through 2029, over 50% of successful cyberattacks on AI agents will exploit access control weaknesses, using direct or indirect prompt injection as an attack vector. The good news? Organizations are taking action. In a recent Gartner webinar, 64% of respondents said they plan to pursue agentic AI initiatives within the next year, and it’s crucial that security is a part of that innovation. HiddenLayer has been recognized as a sample vendor in Gartner’s latest report, specifically for AI runtime security under Enforce Runtime Control. As Gartner notes, AI security requires specialized protection, and we’re proud to be at the forefront of this critical field. AI’s potential is limitless—but only if we secure it.

In 2025, we expect AI-powered cyberattacks (AIPC), agentic AI exploits, deepfake-driven misinformation, and adversarial ML attacks to surge. Organizations need to be ready. 📌 Key predictions from our AI Threat Landscape Report: - Agentic AI as a Target – Expect phishing, data leakage, and adversarial use cases to escalate. - Erosion of Digital Trust – Deepfake tech is advancing and AI watermarking will be critical. - AI-Specific Incident Response – Playbooks for AI security breaches will become standard. - AIPC Attacks on the Rise – AI-powered cyber threats will evolve, targeting models, data, and infrastructure. How can organizations prepare? We outline critical AI security recommendations in the report, including third-party risk evaluation questions developed by our Security for AI Council. This is a must-read for security practitioners.
