Cofense Triage - 2 years after

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Cofense Triage platform to help us dealing with user-reported emails. Platform is automatically grouping reported emails into so-called clusters, based on sender. (This allows bulk-processing of the emails)

It also enables automatic categorization of emails based on set of predefined and custom rules which streamlines triage process.

Lastly, platform allows automatic response to be sent to the end-user based on defined criterias.

Using Cofense Triage allows us to triage a subset of incoming reports and identify real phishing cases amongst those

Pros

  • Grouping of incoming reports
  • Overview of metadata related to email, including rendered preview
  • Informative dashboard with quite some indicators available for selection

Cons

  • Product support could be better - there was an issue with some user accounts which was not resolved for a very long time
  • Lacking AI\ML capabilities - platform requires continuous efforts to be invested by the personnel in order to keep the quality of rules\automations high
  • Automatic remediation (e.g. purge of emails from mail server) of confirmed Phishing cases is not available - this is a separate product

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Cofense Review - Highly recommend if within budget

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work at an MSSP where we use Cofense to manage multiple customers who send us potential phishing emails to analyze. Cofense speeds up this process by presenting important information up front. The information is organized well and it is very easy to triage and come to a determination if an email is legit or malicious. Beyond that, the automation that can be created in Cofense provides a way to easily handle noise and reduce the amount of time working through obvious spam/benign emails.

Pros

  • Presenting Relevant Info
  • Automation
  • Reducing Noise

Cons

  • Clustering is very hit or miss. Sometimes it clusters things that shouldn't be, and other times it would be nice if it clustered additional emails that weren't caught.

Likelihood to Recommend

Cofense is well suited for any security center that needs to triage a large amount of reported/suspicious emails and act on them quickly.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I will list the product address and scope of use in one paragraph below. In my organization, we use Cofense Triage for e-mail security. Mainly Cofense Triage automates the scanning, analysis, and blocking of e-mails with malicious intent. Our end users also have the ability to manually report suspicious and potentially malicious e-mails. There is an add-in integrated into our e-mail platform/application, which is a button that end users click to report an e-mail. I receive and see all the e-mails which are reported and analyze which ones are malicious and which ones are not. From there, have an action plan.

Pros

  • Automated E-mail analysis.
  • Automated E-mail scanning.
  • Automated Malicious E-mail Blocking.
  • Reporting to administrators.

Cons

  • None
  • None
  • None

Likelihood to Recommend

In my experience as an administrator. Cofense generates reports of the types of e-mails which are scanned, reported, and blocked, and from there, I can present to the board the work which is automated, which gives our analysts the to focus on other issues. It is very well suited to a large business as it enforces automation and collaboration between different IT sectors in my organization. The main reason is it enforces e-mail security. There is no scenario that I can think of where Cofense Triage is less appropriate.

Cofense Triage - Saving Time and Effort in the Fight for Accurate Phishing Detection and Response

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cofense Triage allows the analysts on our Threat Detection team the

ability to quickly review and respond to each of the reported emails by

our users. Our response rate to our employees is now 100% and we are

able to stay on top of undetected threats that come across in phishing

emails. Cofense Triage conducts the initial analysis on these emails and

tags them appropriately so that we cut down on the amount of time that

we need to spend on each one.

Pros

  • Groups emails of the same type together
  • Applies tags to emails based on rules
  • Allows quick and efficient responses to users

Cons

  • The ability to customize responses on the fly would be helpful
  • The ability to hover over elements in the HTML preview to get a mouseover tool tip of things like the URL (not-clickable) would be a great improvement

Likelihood to Recommend

Cofense Triage is well suited for a large enterprise environment where manually reviewing and responding to reported phishing emails would not be feasible. Cofense Triage may not be suitable for smaller organizations, as the cost-to-benefit ratio wouldn't make it a worthwhile investment.

Great email threat analysis tool

Rating: 8 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cofense Triage to analyze emails reported from users from their email inbox. With the full scope of emails, we can then proceed to break down possible targeted campaigns towards our organization. Also, we can then give access to other teams that will further analyze the emails and classify them in different categories depending on the type of attack, such as credential phishing, malware or business email compromise.

Pros

  • Clear view of all emails reported
  • Easy classification according to playbooks
  • Email breakdown in URLs, attachment and HTML code

Cons

  • Outdated UI
  • Lacking better user management
  • Short amount of filters

Likelihood to Recommend

It is best suited for incident response and threat analysis teams, as Cofense Triage allows them to check emails reported by users in real time.

Cofense Triage from an MSSP point-of-view

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We run Cofense Triage as an MSSP, offering as part of a managed service to our clients. We provide the analysts who Triage the reported emails, make decisions on their authenticity and malicious intent. Our analysts then provide feedback to the reporter and we summarize details of the overall Triage service on a regular basis. We use Triage in conjunction with Vision to provide an overall email security service.

Pros

  • Risk rating emails using rules.
  • Scoring reporters based on their performance at reporting malicious vs non-malicious emails.
  • Previews and rating attachments.
  • Integrations using APIs to allow quicker analysis of URLs.

Cons

  • Adding additional mailboxes which can be customised for different analysts or rules to prioritise a 'Suspected Malicious' mailbox over a 'Suspected Spam' etc. mailbox.
  • Recipies and Triggers appear to be an overlap and 2 features which do the same thing.
  • Showing comments made on a cluster in the mailbox view can often help save time, rather than entering the contents of a message to see this information.
  • Automatic comments on messages based on a playbook would be useful, this may be a feature that exists on new versions however.

Likelihood to Recommend

Triage is an excellent solution for analyzing, categorizing and responding to reported emails. It has a simple interface which is easy to get used to and the features can be used to semi-automate many actions, speeding up the analysis massively. This is a great platform for analyzing small to medium amount of emails (10-20 per analyst per day), however it takes quite a lot of setup of automation to make it useful for larger scale companies.
