HiddenLayer and Cohere Partner to Secure Enterprise Agentic AI

HiddenLayer is integrating its AI Security Platform with Cohere’s North platform to provide a hardened environment for agentic AI. The collaboration addresses the specific friction between developers seeking to automate workflows and security teams concerned about the risks of connecting AI models to core business data. By embedding runtime protection directly into the AI layer, the partnership offers a defense mechanism that traditional security tools often overlook.

Chris Sestito, CEO of HiddenLayer, noted that agentic systems significantly expand the enterprise attack surface, making them prime targets for malicious tool use and model exploitation. The combined solution allows organizations to monitor AI interactions, detect threats in real time, and maintain audit-ready governance. Cohere, which emphasizes sovereign AI, intends for this integration to give regulated industries and government clients the confidence to deploy agents that take meaningful, secure action across their infrastructure.
