Cofense Phishme Named Best Email Security Solution Of The Year

Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards’ recognition highlights Cofense PhishMe’s leadership in combining AI, ML, and human intelligence to combat advanced phishing attacks.

LEESBURG, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cofense®, the leader in email threat detection and response solutions, has been named the Best Email Security Solution of the Year by the Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards. This honor recognizes the unique approach Cofense offers to combining artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and human-vetted intelligence to stop the most advanced phishing threats that bypass 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 105% increase in malicious emails reaching end users in the past year, the need for a more comprehensive approach is evident.

"With the rapid rise of AI-driven phishing attacks, traditional security tools simply can’t keep pace," said David Van Allen, CEO of Cofense. "At Cofense, we recognize that human intelligence is the ultimate differentiator in stopping these threats, and that technology alone is not effective for the ever-changing threat landscape. This recognition reinforces our mission to ensure our customers remain one step ahead of evolving phishing tactics."

By using human intelligence, powered by a global network of more than 35 million Cofense-trained employees reporting phishing threats 24/7/365, only Cofense can offer a scalable and diverse defense. This approach leverages human-vetted intelligence at scale to provide a vast and evolving source of threat information, enabling organizations to effectively identify and mitigate emerging risks.

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.
