CovertSwarm proudly welcomes Billy Giles as Head of Adversary Simulation for the North America region, strengthening our offensive cybersecurity capabilities and constant cyber attack subscription services.
Former U.S. Air Force cyber operations leader strengthens the Swarm
With over 24 years of distinguished service in the U.S. Air Force, Billy brings exceptional operational expertise in advanced persistent threat simulation to CovertSwarm’s expanding North American footprint.
His decade of leadership conducting complex offensive cyber operations and intelligence missions positions him perfectly to accelerate our operational growth across the region.
Billy’s proven track record in building and scaling high-performance offensive security teams will be instrumental as we continue to challenge traditional security paradigms and deliver our unique subscription-based attack methodology to organizations facing increasingly complex cyber threats across North America.
Advancing our adversarial capabilities
As an active Board member of Red Team Village at DEF CON, Billy maintains deep connections to the cutting edge of advanced adversarial simulation techniques and offensive security methodologies. This expertise further strengthens CovertSwarm’s ability to outpace genuine threat actors and close the critical gap between an organization’s perceived security posture and their actual cyber risk profile.
“Billy’s appointment represents a significant milestone in our North American expansion,” said Luke Potter, COO at CovertSwarm. “His exceptional background in offensive cyber operations will be instrumental in our mission to deliver constant, targeted attacks that challenge the offensive security industry and help our clients outpace their genuine cyber threats in today’s evolving threat landscape.”
Louis Blackburn, Swarm Director at CovertSwarm, added: “We’re incredibly happy to have Billy on board to lead our approach to constant cyber-attack in the US and the wider region. Billy brings an incredible depth of knowledge as a leader to CovertSwarm, and his involvement with the wider Offensive Security community brilliantly aligns with our own values.”
Constant threat demands constant attack
Billy’s leadership arrives at a critical time when point-in-time testing and limited security engagements are proving inadequate against today’s persistent threat landscape.
His appointment reinforces our commitment to providing North American organizations with authentic adversary simulation needed to identify unknown vulnerabilities and significantly strengthen their security resilience.
In his new role, Billy will spearhead our North American operations, guiding a team of offensive security specialists dedicated to discovering vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them, deploying comprehensive real-world attacker capabilities that traditional security approaches cannot match.
“I’m excited to join an organization that’s fundamentally challenging conventional security testing,” said Billy Giles. “CovertSwarm’s approach of constant cyber attack via subscription accurately reflects how real adversaries operate. By applying my operational experience to this innovative model, we’ll help North American organizations truly understand their security gaps and build more resilient defenses against sophisticated threats.”
