INSIDE THE SPIDER: Outpacing scattered spider with adversarial pressure

Scattered Spider targeted MGM, M&S, Co-op, and US insurers. Find out how Lloyd’s fought back and what it means for your defenses.
Scattered Spider has compromised MGM Resorts, Co-op, JLR, and Tokio Marine, and it’s targeting insurance and financial services right now. Its methods evolve faster than most security programs can respond. Social engineering, vishing, living-off-the-land techniques, cloud-native privilege escalation. By the time a periodic test catches up, the playbook has already changed.
In early 2025, the Scattered Spider threat group demonstrated just how effective modern identity-led adversaries have become. Fast-moving, patient and operationally mature, they exploited gaps between people, technology and process long before most organisations realised they were being targeted.
Lloyd’s of London didn’t wait for a breach to find out if they were ready.
This exclusive case study examines how Lloyd’s and CovertSwarm worked together to outpace that threat through rapid decision-making and immediate adversarial pressure.
A real operational story, told by the people who executed it.
This webinar is for security leaders who want an honest look at what that gap looks like in practice and what closing it actually requires.
