Human-Vetted Intelligence at Scale
The only way to close the AI email security gap.
With attackers racing past traditional and model-based SEGs with deeply researched, cosmetically perfect, and highly personalized phishing at volume, there’s only one way to catch dangerous, new sophisticated phishing and SEG-missed zero-day exploits—human intelligence at scale.
The Power of Institutional and Contextual Knowledge
Your employees possess something no AI security tool will ever have: institutional and person-to-person contextual knowledge of normal vs. anomalous communication.
As AI phishing attacks get more sophisticated, harnessing the power of your employees offers a diverse source of intelligence that closes the gap left by machine-based SEG approaches. But you need to build a systemic cycle that can leverage human intelligence at scale.
Your Virtuous Cycle – a Decade Plus in the Making
Building systemic human-vetted intelligence doesn’t happen overnight. Fortunately, Cofense has spent over a decade building an intentionally designed virtuous cycle that encompasses your employees and your SOC analysis and automation processes, using industry-only collective threat intelligence and managed service offerings to go far beyond traditional SEG technology. .
Train Employees for Resilience and Reporting
The foundation of human-vetted intelligence is resilient employees trained to recognize what machines miss. This means that security awareness training (SAT) must have a clear and unambiguous email security goal: to train and expose employees based on pre-compromise threats that bypass all SEGs. Cofense pioneered this approach and remains the industry leader in helping organizations utilize the trifecta of LMS, SAT, and easy-to-use suspicious email reporting to drive employee SEG-miss resiliency and reporting.
SAT approaches that focus on compliance optics, on pleasing and creative content libraries, or that train based on threats already dealt with by machine detection, are of general utility, but of little use in achieving this specific security outcome.

Automate SEG-Miss Report Analysis and Remediation
Once trained employees report phishing missed by traditional and the new AI model-based SEGs, it’s critical to make fast use of them to remediate pre-compromise attacks. Cofense offers powerful automation to drive your organization’s phishing analysis and remediation of pre-compromise email threats. But automation on its own isn’t enough.
Optimize Protection Using AI-Assisted Collective Phishing Threat Intelligence
No organization is on an island in the fight against phishing. It’s smart to effectively use your own employee reporting, but there’s a limit to what any one set of employees can catch. What if you could get a threat intelligence feed of other organizations’ trained employees’ SEG-miss reports? You can, only with Cofense.
Cofense is the world’s largest (and only) provider of phishing-specific threat intelligence, with SEG-miss data from the world’s largest reporting network of over 35 million Cofense-trained employees, covering all industries, leveraging Cofense-developed AI/ML models, and vetted by a global team of Cofense phishing threat analysis experts.

Unburden Your Team with the World’s Only Managed Email Security Service
All the tools and intelligence in the world won’t make a difference if your team doesn’t have available bandwidth or skillsets to take advantage of them. That’s why, to help you close the AI email security gap, Cofense offers another industry-only service, Managed Phishing Threat Detection and Remediation, powered by a global, follow-the-sun Phishing Defense Center operation.
Rapidly Feed Day-Zero Threat Intel Back into Your SAT
The virtuous cycle doesn’t continue without taking SEG-miss intelligence and rapidly incorporating it into your SAT program. With its industry-unique pre-compromise phishing threat intelligence, Cofense drives the most impactful resilience and reporting outcomes.
