The threat is AI. So are we.
Attackers are using AI to move faster, scale further, and strike harder than ever before.
We make sure your defenses are tested against that reality, not the threat landscape of three years ago.
A dedicated team. Not an afterthought.
Most red teams have bolted AI onto existing methodologies.
THE DIVISION
CovertSwarm’s red team AI division (RAID) was built differently: a specialist team whose entire focus is simulating the AI-augmented adversary.
We use the same tools, techniques, and approaches that real threat actors are deploying right now, testing your defenses against the attacks that are actually coming.
WHAT THE THREAT LOOKS LIKE
AI has collapsed the barrier between intent and capability.
Operations that once required specialist skills and significant resources can now be executed by a single actor with access to an offline model.
Ransomware. Scaled social engineering. Automated reconnaissance and exploit chaining. AI has made all of it faster, cheaper, and more accessible.
Your security program was built to handle a different threat. Our AI red team tests whether it can handle this one.
What we test
AI-augmented offensive attacks
Using AI to conduct attacks the way real adversaries do.
Scaling reconnaissance, automating exploit chains, and moving at machine speed across your attack surface.
AI assisted social engineering
Deepfake-enabled impersonation, AI-generated phishing at scale, and voice synthesis attacks that test whether your people can identify threats that no longer look like threats.
Adversary simulation using AI TTPs
Emulating the specific tactics, techniques, and procedures of AI-enabled threat actors – from nation-state groups using AI for reconnaissance to criminal operators running automated extortion campaigns.
AI system & integration testing
Prompt injection, shadow AI discovery, and testing the security of your own AI deployments, finding the attack paths that open up when your AI stack is compromised or manipulated.
HOW WE WORK
Human-led. AI-augmented. Relentless.
AI accelerates attacks but doesn’t replace the adversarial thinking that makes them dangerous. Our AI red team combines specialist human expertise with AI tooling, because that’s exactly how the most capable threat actors operate.
01 Threat actor profiling
Identifying the AI-enabled adversaries most relevant to your sector and building attack simulations around their real-world TTPs.
02 AI-augmented reconaissance
Using AI tools to map your attack surface at scale, the way a well-resourced attacker would before striking.
03 Attack execution
Simulated AI-assisted attacks across digital, social, and where relevant, physical vectors – chaining exploits the way real adversaries do.
04 FINDINGS VIA THE PORTAL
Real-time findings delivered through the CovertSwarm Portal, with direct access to your AI red team throughout the engagement.
WHAT WE FIND
DEFENSES BUILT FOR YESTERDAY’S ATTACKS.
The most consistent finding across AI red team engagements isn’t a technical vulnerability. It’s a detection and response capability that was never calibrated for AI-speed, AI-scale threats.
AI turned two weeks of recon into less than a day. By the time we attacked, we knew their network better than they did.
