Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The reason behind installing this anti-phishing software in most of our departments across the organization was to fight back against phishing attacks that have already cost us a lot. We used to get afraid of storing our important credentials in our systems but Cofense [Vision] has given us confidence by providing email security and tracking of threats.

Cons

  • Its integration, by and large, doesn’t work according to our anticipation and I think it needs more advancement.
  • It was hard for us to integrate it with our already present security stack and this caused a hurdle in getting benefit from other functions.

Return on Investment

  • Phishing attacks can no longer harm us.
  • We have developed confidence in the working capability of Cofense [Vision].
  • Due to its failure in proper integration, we have to face some consequences which I can regard as having a negative impact.
