Overall Satisfaction with Cofense Triage

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Triage has been excellent and has prevented multiple malicious emails from compromising the client.
  • The analysis of these malicious emails also allowed us to monitor for IOCs, which can prevent further attacks.
  • Overall, considering the attacks it has prevented, this has definitely been worth the money.
Triage is an excellent solution for analysing and triaging emails. It has a set of rules which can be used to rate the risk of meaages, these rules are updated on a daily basis to keep up with known IOCs of attackers. The support from Cofense is also excellent and reaching out to them for support is always very valuable.

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.
