How to Detect Executive Impersonation with OpenClaw
Detect Executive Impersonation Attempts with OpenClaw and ToolRouter. Run scheduled BEC checks across executive inboxes and generate normalized threat reports.
Tool
OpenClaw lets you run `check_email` across a batch of emails flagged by your gateway as potential BEC attempts, or schedule recurring checks on emails sent to specific executive inboxes. This is the right approach for organizations processing high email volumes where manual triage of every impersonation alert isn't feasible.
Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw

Once connected (see setup above), use the Phishing Email Checker tool:
- Export emails flagged as potential BEC attempts from your email gateway or SIEM.
- Run `phishing-email-checker` with `check_email` for each email and collect results in a normalized schema.
- Filter to emails with confirmed BEC indicators and sort by severity.
- Generate a daily BEC triage report for the security team and finance leads.
Example Prompt
Try this with OpenClaw using the Phishing Email Checker tool
Use phishing-email-checker to analyze these emails flagged as potential executive impersonation in batch: [email 1], [email 2], [email 3]. Return each with verdict, severity, bec_indicators, and recommended_action in a stable schema. Flag any confirmed BEC as critical priority.
Tips
- Run the batch daily on emails flagged by your gateway so the BEC triage queue stays current.
- Filter the batch output to critical and high severity to give the security team a focused daily action list.
- Keep the schema fixed so daily reports can be trended over time to spot increases in BEC campaign activity.
