Encryption scrambles data to make it unreadable to those without decryption keys. Proper use of encryption preserves secrecy and radically lowers the potential damage of a successful cybersecurity attack. Encryption algorithm types will provide an overview of the mathematical algorithms used to encrypt data (AES, RSA, etc.),

Hijacked compute: Repurposes expensive AI compute power for attackers’ needs, primarily cryptojacking, which mines for cryptocurrencies on stolen resources. A natural myopia, but companies ignore three key hidden issues exposed by ShadowRay: AI experts lack security expertise, AI data needs encryption, and AI models need source tracking.
