Cofense PhishMe Named Best Email Security Solution of the Yea

Cofense, a leader in email threat detection and response solutions, has been recognized as the Best Email Security Solution of the Year by the Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards. This award highlights Cofense's distinctive approach, which integrates artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and human-reviewed intelligence to block sophisticated phishing attacks that evade traditional secure email gateways (SEGs).

The advancement of AI and ML has created significant security gaps as threat actors are leveraging AI-powered tactics to launch advanced phishing attacks that can easily bypass traditional SEGs. These attacks are characterized by increased speed, volume, and specificity, making them more difficult to detect and prevent. Organizations that rely solely on technology-based email security solutions may believe they have the upper hand, but they remain exposed. With a 104% increase in malicious emails reaching end users in the past year, the need for a more comprehensive approach is evident. 

The Cofense PhishMe solution architecture comprises two complementary solutions: PhishMe Email Security Awareness Training (SAT) with Risk Validation and Cofense Phishing Threat Detection and Response (PDR) Platform. Cofense PhishMe SAT equips organizations to train employees to recognize and report real-world phishing attacks that bypass traditional and model-based SEG detection. While Cofense Phishing Threat Detection and Response (PDR) Platform detects and remediates phishing threats. Together, these solutions create a virtuous cycle of human-vetted intelligence at scale, enabling organizations to effectively combat increasingly sophisticated AI-powered phishing attacks.
