The risk

Where executive impersonation shows up

CEO and CFO authority plays

Impersonated leaders pushing staff to approve transfers, share access, or bypass review, the pattern behind the Arup and Ferrari attacks.

Isolation and secrecy

Requests moved to private channels with just-between-us framing to remove witnesses.

The attack playbook

How an executive impersonation attack unfolds

These attacks move through a recognizable sequence. Diopter scores that sequence while the call is still in progress.

01
Authority

The leader appears

A cloned CEO or CFO arrives on video or voice with the authority staff are wired to obey.

02
Urgency

It cannot wait

A confidential deal or a closing window frames the request as urgent and exceptional.

03
Isolation

Keep it between us

The executive moves the conversation off-channel and discourages looping in others.

04
Escalation

The ask grows

A first small step is followed by a larger one, each harder to refuse than the last.

05
The ask

Staff act on it

A transfer, an access grant, or an exception goes through on an impersonated leader's word.

Why Diopter

Most tools check one clip. Diopter reads the whole call.

Point-in-time detectors answer a single question: is this video or voice fake? A good clone passes that test. Diopter scores the whole conversation, the authority claims, the manufactured urgency, the push to go off-channel, and the escalating ask, then raises a verdict on the pattern a single frame cannot show.

Attackers can fake your CEO's face and voice. They cannot fake the absence of a real relationship and your normal way of working.

Deployment & trust

Light to deploy, clear about what runs where.

Pilot in days, roll wider through MDM, and keep sensitive call media inside your perimeter.
