About CovertSwarm
Founded in 2020, CovertSwarm has grown into the fastest-growing force in cybersecurity by transforming the standard “point-in-time” pen testing into an ongoing, relentless assault on client defenses. We’re not just testing; we’re actively mimicking real-world attackers, discovering vulnerabilities before they’re exploited. Our continuous, subscription-based approach ensures our clients’ defenses evolve as rapidly as the threats against them, flipping traditional security practices on their heads.
This bold, aggressive approach caught the attention of Beech Tree Private Equity in 2023, making CovertSwarm the youngest company in its portfolio with a substantial new investment of £10–30 million to scale our operations globally—a testament to our rapid impact.
Our unique CovertSwarm Portal, launched globally and accessible for free, centralizes client attack surface management, threat validation, and direct access to our red team. Through the Portal, clients can initiate tests with a single click, giving them immediate insights and actionable intelligence from a unified platform without the traditional delays of manual pen testing.
With a 220% growth rate last year and virtually no marketing expenditure, our trajectory speaks for itself. Clients don’t just stay; they extend multi-year contracts, proving our value and expanding our reach organically. Following the Portal launch, our client base surged by over 50% within days, demonstrating that our approach is hitting a nerve in the industry and meeting a critical need.
Our mission? To be the intelligent human-driven layer between technology and risk by hiring the brightest minds in offensive security, CovertSwarm continually outmaneuvers cyber threats through social engineering, simulated Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), and every tactic attackers might use.
We’re also fostering the next generation of defenders through the CovertSwarm Academy, opening pathways for people from all backgrounds to develop the technical skills and mindset necessary to become ethical hackers.
As we continue expanding, our mission remains clear: to relentlessly challenge and strengthen our clients’ defenses, offering them the most proactive, realistic protection available in the market. Attackers don’t play by the rules—neither do we.
