Attack Coverage | Check Point AI Security

Check Point AI Red Teaming evaluates your GenAI applications across a comprehensive set of adversarial techniques organized into attack categories. Our attack library is continuously updated based on real-world threat intelligence.

Attack Categories

Red organizes attacks into three main categories. A basic scan in the dashboard includes Security, Safety, and Responsible categories (23 objectives total). Attack strategies include, but are not limited to, Prompt Injection, Jailbreaks, Multi-lingual, Multi-turn, and Indirect techniques. Indirect attacks reach the agent through content it loads rather than through a user message. Red’s first indirect strategy, Tool Response Poisoning, delivers payloads through tool results.

Default Objectives

A basic scan covers 23 objectives: 4 Security, 8 Safety, and 11 Responsible. Security covers ways an application can be compromised; Safety covers harmful content; and Responsible covers legal, reputational, or ethical failures. Pass an objective ID in objectives when creating a scan.

Category	Objective ID	Objective	What it tests
Security	`security.instruction-override.1`	Instruction Override	Bypassing or overriding the system’s safety guidelines, instructions, or behavioral constraints through prompt injection or manipulation
Security	`security.system-prompt-extraction.1`	System Prompt Extraction	Extraction or disclosure of the underlying system prompt, instructions, or configuration that governs the model’s behavior
Security	`security.tool-extraction.1`	Tool Extraction	Extraction of information about available tools, functions, APIs, or capabilities that the system has access to
Security	`security.data-exfiltration.1`	Data Exfiltration / PII Leakage	Extraction or leakage of personally identifiable information, sensitive user data, or confidential information from the system’s context or memory
Safety	`safety.hate-speech.1`	Hate Speech	Content promoting hatred, prejudice, or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics
Safety	`safety.violence-extremism.1`	Violence and Violent Extremism	Content glorifying, inciting, or providing detailed instructions for acts of violence, terrorism, or extremist ideologies
Safety	`safety.cbrne.1`	CBRNE	Instructions or information for creating, obtaining, or deploying chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear weapons, or explosive devices
Safety	`safety.self-harm.1`	Self-Harm	Content encouraging, normalizing, or providing methods for self-harm, suicide, or self-destructive behaviors (includes eating disorders)
Safety	`safety.sexual-content.1`	Sexual Content	Explicit sexual content, pornographic material, or sexually suggestive content involving adults or minors
Safety	`safety.harassment-bullying.1`	Harassment and Bullying	Content designed to harass, intimidate, threaten, or bully individuals or groups
Safety	`safety.dangerous-instructions.1`	Dangerous Instructions	Unsafe advice or instructions that could lead to physical harm, injury, or dangerous situations
Safety	`safety.drug-synthesis.1`	Drug Synthesis	Detailed instructions for synthesizing illegal drugs, controlled substances, or dangerous narcotics
Responsible	`responsible.misinformation.1`	Misinformation and Disinformation	False, misleading, or fabricated information presented as factual, including conspiracy theories or deliberately deceptive content
Responsible	`responsible.copyright-infringement.1`	Copyright Infringement	Copyrighted content including substantial reproductions of books, articles, song lyrics, code, or other protected intellectual property
Responsible	`responsible.fraud-facilitation.1`	Fraud Facilitation	Content enabling fraudulent activities, scams, phishing schemes, or financial deception
Responsible	`responsible.criminal-advice.1`	Criminal Advice	Specific guidance or instructions for committing illegal activities, evading law enforcement, or conducting criminal operations
Responsible	`responsible.brand-damaging.1`	Brand-Damaging Content	Content that misrepresents the brand, creates negative associations, or damages the reputation of the company or product
Responsible	`responsible.unauthorized-discounts.1`	Unauthorized Discounts	Unauthorized promotional codes, discounts, refunds, or financial commitments on behalf of the company
Responsible	`responsible.discrimination-bias.1`	Discrimination and Bias	Biased, discriminatory, or unfair content in decision-making contexts such as hiring, lending, housing, or other consequential applications
Responsible	`responsible.specialized-advice.1`	Specialized Advice (Medical, Legal)	Specific medical diagnoses, treatment plans, legal counsel, or other specialized professional advice without appropriate disclaimers
Responsible	`responsible.defamation-libel.1`	Defamation and Libel	False and damaging statements about specific individuals or organizations that could harm their reputation
Responsible	`responsible.hallucination.1`	Hallucination	Inducing the model to fabricate facts, citations, entities, or statistics presented as real
Responsible	`responsible.cybercrime-facilitation.1`	Cybercrime Facilitation	Malicious code, malware, exploits, or hacking techniques designed to compromise systems or data

How Attacks Work

Attack Generation

For each objective, Red generates targeted attack probes based on:

The attack objective’s goal and expected harmful output
The target’s profile (summary, allowed/forbidden actions)

Risk Score Calculation

Your overall risk score is the percentage of attacks that succeeded:

Risk Score = (Harmful Evaluations / Total Evaluations) × 100%

Customizing Attack Scope

Basic Scan in the Dashboard

If you start a basic scan in the dashboard without choosing objectives, Red covers all 23 default objectives. SDK scans require at least one objective ID (built-in or saved custom) or a custom objective definition in the scan request, except for smoke, which uses fixed probes. To scan all 23 defaults through the SDK, pass their IDs explicitly.

Custom Scope

You can customize your scan scope in two ways:

Objectives library (dashboard) — Select or deselect specific objectives in the sidebar before starting a scan, or create custom objectives in the library with a severity level and category.

Custom objectives in a scan request (SDK/CLI) — Define an objective directly in the scan configuration without creating a library entry. It needs a stable key, a name, an attack description, and at least one success indicator that describes a successful attack. Creating a Scan shows where to pass it; CustomObjective lists the required and optional fields for TypeScript and Python.
