Cofense Introduces Phishing Detection and Response Platform

Cofense has introduced its Phishing Detection and Response (PDR) platform, a solution designed specifically for enterprise organisations. As phishing attacks continue to become more sophisticated, persistent, and adapt to legacy security defenses, demand for end-to-end phishing defense solutions is at an all-time high. The Cofense PDR platform provides a comprehensive approach to stopping phishing attacks through global crowd-sourced phishing intelligence from 25 million people combined with advanced automation.

Cofense’s new PDR platform is designed to deploy as an integrated suite of products or delivered as a comprehensive managed PDR service through the Cofense Phishing Defense Center (PDC). Both options effectively stop phishing attacks and combat the savviness of attackers through a combination of people and automated technology to quickly reduce and remove the risk.

“Cofense is the leading provider of PDR as a result of our approach in combining technical innovations with a network of over 25 million people around the world who identify, report and share suspected phish information. Human Intelligence will always be greater than Artificial Intelligence, and when combined with technology, Cofense delivers unparalleled protection for organizations,” said Rohyt Belani, Co-Founder and CEO, Cofense.

Cofense’s PDR platform is the most holistic solution on the market, and includes:

• PhishMe: Completely rearchitected to address the needs of enterprise-size organisations, users can more easily and efficiently run phishing simulations and manage their security awareness program; carefully crafted simulations based on real – not theoretical – phish immerse users in the experience of being phished from end to end, improving an organisation’s resiliency to attacks.
• Triage: The first phishing-specific orchestration, automation and response solution that helps identify active phishing attacks in progress; suspected phish are rapidly clustered and analysed by SOC analysts who queue indicators for remediation.
• Vision: Driven by automation, Vision quickly identifies all recipients of phishing attacks and automatically quarantines and removes the threat from all mailboxes; enables SOC and IR teams to proactively hunt for unreported threats, IOCs and TTPs, and creates transparent audit and governance of mitigation actions.
• Intelligence: Proprietary global collection sources provide an extensive real-time view into threat campaigns observed in the wild; delivers high-fidelity, phishing-specific alerts and intelligence, providing accurate and timely assessments of both the current phishing threat landscape and emerging trends. Information from the Intel solution can be easily integrated with existing SOARs, SIEMs and TIPs.

Cofense Managed PDR

• For enterprise organisations that prefer to seek managed solutions, the Cofense Phishing Defense Center team delivers Managed PDR, managing the entire phishing detection and response process. Security operators gain the expertise, resources and peace of mind needed to proactively defend against current or emerging threats with unparalleled outcomes by engaging Cofense Managed PDR. As recently discussed, the PDC team stopped and removed an attack in less than 10 minutes.

By integrating all components of the Cofense PDR platform, organisations can detect phish in their environment, educate employees on how to identify and report phish, and respond quickly to remediate the threats before there is harm done to their organisation.
