CEO fraud is one of the most damaging forms of cybercrime today. Attackers impersonate executives to pressure employees into transferring money, sharing sensitive information or bypassing procedures. These attacks succeed because they exploit trust, authority and urgency. Phantom’sLab helps organizations recognize and respond to CEO fraud through experience based learning that turns awareness into secure behavior.
CEO fraud does not rely on malware or technical exploits. It relies on people. Attackers study organizations, mimic leadership communication and create believable scenarios that feel urgent and legitimate. Employees act quickly because the request appears to come from authority.
Traditional training explains the rules. It rarely prepares people for the pressure of a message that looks and sounds like their CEO. Phantom’sLab focuses on the psychology behind CEO fraud, helping people recognize manipulation and slow down before acting.
The numbers prove it. A game based approach turns CEO fraud awareness into engaging experiences that strengthen judgment and reduce risk.
Your employees dive into the world of cybersecurity through a serious game.
CEO fraud works when people do not question authority. Phantom’sLab solutions expose participants to realistic CEO fraud scenarios where pressure, timing and tone are used to influence decisions. By experiencing these moments, people learn to recognize red flags and respond securely.
Phantom’sLab combines storytelling, behavioral science and gamification to make CEO fraud tangible. People do not just learn what CEO fraud is. They experience how it feels. This builds instincts that traditional checkbox training cannot create.
Phantom’sLab offers a game based approach to CEO fraud awareness. Serious gaming, e learning and interactive challenges can be used individually or combined into one cohesive learning journey. Each module reinforces how impersonation works and how employees can stay in control.
Every organization faces different CEO fraud risks. Phantom’sLab adapts scenarios to your workflows, roles and threat landscape. Our solutions support onboarding, campaigns and continuous learning throughout the year.

Research shows gamified training increases engagement by 60% and productivity by 43%. When you add storytelling, knowledge retention skyrockets. People remember stories and experiences, not bullet points. Our game-based approach means employees don’t just complete training. They actually learn, remember, and apply what they’ve experienced.
