S2 E3: Nation-State Attacks - Hidden in Plain Sight

Nation-state attacks aren't just reserved for governments anymore. They're being repurposed, rebranded, and redirected at the private sector - and most organizations won’t see them coming.

In this episode, we speak with Chris Worthy, former UK national security lead, and Billy Giles, CovertSwarm’s Head of Adversary Simulation (US), about how enterprise targets are increasingly in scope for state-aligned threat actors.

Together, they explore:

• What an APT really is and why "advanced" doesn’t always mean complex
• How offensive tactics once limited to cyber warfare are now turning up inside businesses
• Why attribution is nearly impossible, and why it might not matter
• How organizations can build resilience and test their readiness when there are no guarantees

This isn’t about panic. It’s about clarity.

Because if your organization holds something of value, chances are someone is already working on how to take it.

Successful companies are constant targets for attackers. Those who take security seriously don’t test their defenses once a year.
