The human factor is the real risk

Cybercriminals do not target systems first. They target people. They manipulate trust, urgency, and authority to gain access. Traditional training focuses on knowledge, but without changing behavior, it is ineffective.

Cybersecurity learning requires more than awareness. It needs routines, ownership, and a culture where digital resilience becomes part of everyday work. Our game-based learning approach ensures that these elements are not just understood but experienced in an engaging, interactive way, helping to turn knowledge into lasting behavior change.

Cybersecurity awareness, behavior change and culture | Phantom'sLab

The power of entertainment:

90% of cyberattacks

Cybercriminals exploit human behavior to bypass security.

60% engagement increase

Our gamified, story-driven learning keeps employees engaged, curious, and motivated.

70% risk reduction

When awareness grows into behavior and culture, measurable risk reduction follows.

The numbers speak for themselves. Game-based learning turns attention into action. Empower your organization with cybersecurity training that is fun, inspiring, and effective.

From awareness to culture

Traditional cybersecurity training stops at awareness. Phantom’sLab goes beyond that. We connect three solutions: awareness, behavior change, and culture into one continuous learning experience.

Through immersive, gamified experiences, employees experience threats, make decisions, and see the consequences. This transforms awareness into behavior and behavior into culture. This is cybersecurity learning that lasts.

What makes our approach different

We do not just build knowledge; we build instinct. We turn employees from passive participants into active defenders who recognize manipulation, stay calm under pressure, and share knowledge across teams.

Where traditional e-learning fades, our game-based learning sticks. This makes cybersecurity learning stronger, more human, and future-proof.

Critical gamified topics, fully covered

AI-powered attacks

Learners face AI-generated threats, such as phishing emails and deepfakes, in immersive scenarios. This helps them recognize and respond to these sophisticated attacks in real-time.

CEO fraud and deepfakes

Phantom’sLab simulates CEO fraud and deepfake scenarios, training employees to spot fraudulent messages and verify their authenticity before acting.

Advanced phishing

Our game-based training presents advanced phishing attacks, teaching employees to identify subtle signs and respond quickly and effectively.

Psychology and manipulation

Learners experience psychological manipulation tactics used by attackers. Through gameplay, they learn to recognize these methods and respond effectively under pressure.

Resilience and response

Employees practice responding to cybersecurity incidents in real-time, building teamwork and decision-making skills to handle breaches efficiently.

Social engineering mastery

Gamified scenarios teach employees to identify and resist social engineering tactics, improving their ability to spot manipulation in everyday situations.

Personalized for your organization

Effective cybersecurity training requires relevance. That is why we customize each experience to reflect your risks, industry, and culture. Scenarios feature your company’s workflows, internal processes, and even leadership using deepfake technology for an authentic and impactful experience.

When employees see themselves in the training, they become more engaged, and the lessons stick. That is the Phantom’sLab promise.
