Cofense
The tool is very helpful in improving Phishing detection capabilities as it streamlines the process of analyzing user reports a lot. Besides it has a built-in mechanism of rating reporters(end-users) based on their historical performance. Downside - tool requires continuous resource investment to deliver best result. Tool is not helping too much in improving user-education, because automated response process is not immediate and is prone to errors

  • Immediate recognition of possible conflicting interests within a field of view.
  • Ability to assist users with Research and Development at an extraordinary rate.
  • Real-Time feedback via neural pathways to analyze data and implement independent solutions that are tailored to the specific applications on-site.
  • This entire review was written with the assistance of IRIS technology as a demonstrative of it's very real practical application. This took less than 2 minutes to write using my own hands.

Cons
Cofense
  • There are too many interdependent pieces which you have to acquire separately.
  • I think Cofense has a lot of capabilities and usefulness, but I think it's too a la carte.
  • We own Cofense and PhishMe currently and there are some gaping holes that require additional licensing to close.

The other product had a lot of fails on the auto-processing and did not integrate well with our current environment. One issue had to do with the way it sends the submissions to its processing engine—our email gateway configuration would have blocked this traffic. I also did not like the user interface.

Secure work environment with this platform has enhanced effective workflow infrastructure. The cost of deployment and configuration capabilities with other security applications lead to main decision of acquiring this tool. The security control dashboards gives reliable performance reports that leads to quick decision-making when there are malware attacks. It gives lifecycle report for most work processes and threat intelligence information that enables my team to track workloads effectively.

Return on Investment
Cofense
  • Due to the integration potential, large amounts of time are saved on a daily basis.
  • Incident response time has dropped due to the increased information available by having access to phishing emails directly.
  • Staff are able to effectively learn how multiple tools in our environment are used by mastering Triage. This has decreased training time greatly and increased the effectiveness of each associate.
