## Understanding the Landscape of AI Risks

Enkrypt AI maps safety risks into six main categories and 300 sub-categories for comprehensive red teaming that detects and mitigates real-world harm across sensitive use cases.

* **Crypto-jacking** - Unauthorized cryptocurrency mining
* **Botnets** - Networks of compromised devices
* **Cyber-espionage** - Intelligence gathering through cyber means
* **DDoS Attacks** - Distributed denial of service attacks
* **Pharming** - Redirecting users to malicious sites

#### **Guns and Illegal Substances**

Detection of weapons and controlled substances:

* **Biological Weapons** - Manufacturing and safety protocols
