About CovertSwarm
If you release code, hire people, open new premises or change your board more often than you attack yourself, you are not keeping pace with your own risk. CovertSwarm was founded in 2020 on that argument, frustrated that organizations relied on occasional penetration tests, thick reports and long gaps in between.
The Swarm runs realistic attacks across digital, physical, and social environments, then shows how weaknesses chain into paths an attacker could use against the business.
What we write about
- Continuous offensive security testing: Why occasional testing can’t keep pace with how often your organization changes.
- Emerging threats: New attack techniques and what they could let an attacker do to your organization.
- Offensive AI and AI security: Prompt injection, multi-agent risk and how attackers can turn AI and agentic systems against the organizations running them.
- Red teaming and adversary simulation: Chaining weaknesses into the attack paths a real adversary would follow.
- Regulatory threat-led testing: CBEST, STAR-FS and threat-led testing, from a team with CREST accreditation for both.
- Physical security and social engineering: Getting into buildings and past staff, and what that access exposes.
- Vulnerability research: Flaws in software and systems, and what an attacker could do with each one.
