Cofense

Cofense is an email security platform designed to combat phishing attacks. It achieves this through an effective combination of human intelligence and advanced technology.

The solution provides a comprehensive, full-cycle approach to email security that encompasses the following components: 1. Security Awareness Training (SAT) via their PhishMe platform, which educates employees on how to recognize and report phishing attempts that may bypass Secure Email Gateways (SEGs). 2. A reporting system that utilizes over 35 million trained employees to pinpoint phishing emails that slip past conventional security measures. 3. Threat analysis capabilities designed to assess the emails reported by users. 4. Automated remediation processes that swiftly tackle identified threats. 5. Risk management intelligence that offers broader insights into security. Cofense's strategy is founded on the belief that AI/ML security solutions alone cannot completely safeguard against advanced phishing attacks, particularly those driven by generative AI. Instead, they integrate machine learning with human verification to deliver what they refer to as "human-vetted intelligence at scale."

The platform keeps a database of SEG misses, which helps in tracking phishing attacks that manage to evade standard email security measures.

This intelligence aids organizations in pinpointing weaknesses in their email security defenses and enables them to respond to threats more effectively. Cofense serves enterprise customers, including Fortune 1000 companies, and provides support through a follow-the-sun SOC operation, ensuring continuous threat monitoring and response.
