CovertSwarm - The Podcast

Immersed in the world of cryptography, WWII espionage and the remarkable story behind Alan Turing and his team's groundbreaking efforts to crack the Nazi encryption system, the Enigma code, our Swarm came from all over the world to share, learn and collaborate with each other.
On this episode of our podcast, our host and new Head of People and Culture, Ellie Lancaster, talks to members of the CovertSwarm team to learn what they think were the highlights of our 7th SwarmCon event at Bletchley Park.

In this second episode hosted by Hacker Valley, Ron Eddings sits down with CovertSwarm’s Academy Hive Leader, Iain Jackson, for an eye-opening, innovative, and unsettling episode.

This time, Ron’s voice is cloned live on air. Using cutting-edge AI impersonation tools, Iain demonstrates how attackers can weaponize synthetic voices to breach organizational defenses, this time by cloning our host's voice. They’ll dissect the mechanics behind this tactic and reveal why phishing got much more personal.

While many still fixate on stopping email-based scams, Iain will expose the vulnerabilities in voice-based verification systems. From bypassing phone-based security protocols to exploiting human trust in familiarity, this conversation is a wake-up call.

They’ll also explore the role of a psychological phenomenon named the uncanny valley, where slight imperfections in synthetic voices or behaviors can trigger a gut feeling that something isn’t right. Trusting this instinct could be the key to spotting and stopping scammers before they succeed.

Tune in to discover how CovertSwarm’s relentless testing methodology mirrors techniques used by your worst cyber nightmares and why it’s essential to pressure-test every layer of your defenses against threats that blur the line between the digital and the social.
