S2 E5: How AI is shaping offensive cyber operations
Description
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming an active partner in offensive cybersecurity.
In this episode, Jim Clover, founder of Varadius Ltd and former UK Government cyber operations lead, joins Luke Potter, COO at CovertSwarm, to explore how AI is changing the way real attacks are planned and executed.
Jim brings a grounded perspective shaped by years of experience and a deep understanding of AI model safety. Luke provides insight from the front line of offensive operations, where AI is already accelerating reconnaissance, social engineering, and adaptive attack planning. Together, they examine the opportunities and risks that come with integrating AI into offensive capability, and what responsible evolution should look like as the technology moves forward.
AI is not replacing human operators, but it is reshaping the craft.
This conversation uncovers how experts are navigating that shift and what it means for the future of security.
