Cybersecurity awareness business - Better Places | Phantom'sLab

Phantom’sLab in travel and tourism

  • Organization: Better Places
  • Name: Esmée Tensen
  • Role: Business/Data Analyst
  • Why: We wanted to raise awareness about cyber threats and strengthen our cybersecurity culture through training that was both fun and educational. We also saw it as a great team building opportunity to bring our team together around an important topic.
“The experience proved that you can combine team building with practical cybersecurity learning. It strengthened both our team connections and our awareness.”

Case summary

The challenge

Finding an activity that would work as both effective team building and genuine cybersecurity training. We wanted to strengthen our cybersecurity culture and raise awareness about digital threats, but in a way that would also bring our team closer together. The challenge was avoiding the typical choice between “fun team activity with no real value” or “serious training with no team connection.” We needed something that would do both well, creating team bonds while teaching practical cybersecurity skills.

The experience

The team showed genuine enthusiasm and engagement, though reactions were mixed overall. What stood out was the interactive and practical approach that made cyber threats understandable in concrete terms. The engaging format made the learning more enjoyable and effective, keeping people involved throughout. The clarity with which cyber threats were explained helped everyone understand the risks, regardless of their technical background.

The experience successfully served both purposes we had in mind. It created team connection while delivering serious learning about cybersecurity. People were actively involved, discussing scenarios and learning from each other’s perspectives. The format allowed for both individual learning and team interaction, making it work well as a team building activity that also had real educational value.

The outcome

The experience created greater awareness of digital risks and cyber threats throughout our team. The strengthened security culture and increased alertness are noticeable in daily work. Everyone is now more aware of how easily personal information can be misused, which has made the team more careful in their work. Importantly, confidence in our organization’s digital cybersecurity has grown because people now understand both the risks and how to handle them. The experience successfully combined team building with practical learning that continues to influence how we work.
