## Can organizations use their own executives in deepfake training?

Yes. In fact, that's one of the primary use cases of Adaptive's Custom Deepfake Personas. The platform allows you to create AI personas modeled after your actual executives or other key staff (with their permission). By doing so, you generate training content that is extremely relevant – employees are more likely to pay attention when they see a familiar face or hear a familiar voice, even if it's an AI recreation. For example, a training phishing email might contain a video of your real CEO (AI-generated) asking for sensitive info, to see if employees will verify it. Using your own leaders in these deepfakes drives home the point that attackers could target your company by impersonating specific people that everyone knows. It adds realism: employees learn not just "someone might impersonate a boss," but "someone could impersonate our boss." This considerably boosts the impact of the training, as it feels very real to your organization.
