The human factor is the real risk

Hackers are no longer just targeting systems. They’re targeting people. With OT systems controlling critical infrastructure, the human element becomes the most vulnerable link in the chain. Phishing, social engineering, and psychological manipulation are increasingly used to bypass security.

Our cybersecurity training doesn’t just focus on technical skills. It prepares your team for real-world, high-pressure scenarios that are essential for defending your OT environment.

Cybersecurity awareness, behavior change and culture | Phantom'sLab

The power of entertainment:

90% of cyberattacks

Start with human manipulation. Modern cybercriminals bypass the latest security measures by exploiting human behavior.

60% engagement increase

Gamified training works. When learning feels like entertainment, employees are more engaged, leading to better retention and more proactive behavior.

70% risk reduction

Building a culture of security leads to a tangible drop in cybersecurity incidents, making your OT systems more resilient against attack.

The numbers prove it. Gamified learning turns attention into action. Give your OT team cybersecurity training that is fun, engaging, and built to create real, lasting behavior change.

From awareness to culture

Awareness is just the beginning. Phantom’sLab’s approach goes further, building lasting behavioral change and embedding a security-first culture across your OT organization.

  • Awareness: We start with immersive, film-like training episodes where you step into the shoes of a hacker and hack your own company, making the threat personal.
  • Behavior change: Our microlearning modules reinforce key concepts, helping employees turn knowledge into instinctive behavior.
  • Culture: Continuous engagement through smart learning modules, campaigns, and challenges builds a resilient culture of cybersecurity awareness.

What makes our cybersecurity training different?

Phantom’sLab’s training is tailored to your specific OT environment, ensuring it’s relevant, impactful, and effective. Our use of storytelling, gamification, and behavior science sets us apart. This isn’t just about awareness. It’s about transformation.

The result is lasting behavior change. Your OT team will be ready to respond confidently and swiftly to any cyber threat.
