PhishMe® Email Security Awareness Training with Risk Validation

The threat from AI-powered phishing is growing. Training your employees to recognize ever-more sophisticated attacks that evade filters and land in their inboxes matters more than ever. But most security awareness training (SAT) approaches fall far short, focusing on conceptual content and compliance optics rather than building employee resilience to relevant threats.

Cofense is the industry exception. PhishMe® is the only SAT solution that exclusively trains employees to recognize and report real-world phishing attacks that have been proven to bypass secure email gateways (SEGs)—even AI-based SEGs.

One Solution. Three Pillars.

Security Awareness Training

PhishMe SAT delivers simulations of real-world, observed SEG-miss threats to build employee resilience. For organizations that are just starting to build their program, PhishMe offers an optional Learning Management System (LMS) as a foundation for building core knowledge and remediative training.

Malicious Email Reporting

PhishMe Reporter lets employees report suspicious emails with a single click. Reporter turns training into active participation, generates actionable SEG-miss intelligence for your SOC, and provides a key performance indicator (KPI) for tracking employee resilience.

Risk Validation

Identify and validate risk points in your training program with individual Employee Engagement Index scores. Use powerful reporting data to segment your user populations and take appropriate actions to build greater resilience and reduce risk factors.

Real-World Relevance and Resilience

To build cyber resilience, employees must be trained using real-world scenarios. This is the core principle driving the PhishMe SAT Platform.

Unfortunately, this is not the approach taken by many SAT solutions. Instead, they train employees on conceptual scenarios they are unlikely to encounter, with a KPI of reducing “click rates” on irrelevant simulated phishing links. This approach may be good enough for compliance optics or justifying budget requests, but it won’t build employee resilience against real threats.

PhishMe training simulations are unique in the industry because they are all derived from in-depth phishing threat intelligence on real-world SEG misses, reported by our global network of 35M+ Cofense-trained employees, and vetted by a combination of Cofense-trained ML models and our own expert analysts for 99.998% accuracy.

Comprehensive Learning Approach

The PhishMe SAT platform offers comprehensive content to foster:

  • Concept knowledge and skill
  • Recall and reproduction
  • Strategic thinking and complex reasoning
  • Demonstration of expertise

Content types include Computer Based Training (CBT), infographics, videos, HTML education, microlearning, quick tips, games, simulations, logic puzzles, and exercises that put users in the “attacker’s shoes.”

Smart Recommendations

Building a phishing resilience program can be daunting. That’s why the PhishMe SAT Platform offers “Smart Suggest” to recommend templates based on your organization’s program maturity, industry, history, active threats, and SEG misses.

Powerful Risk Management Reporting

The PhishMe SAT platform offers in-depth reporting to help you measure employee resilience based on analytics on simulation scenario responses, including reporting of suspicious emails. An Employee Engagement Index (EEI) allows you to assess and validate engagement and resilience down to the individual end-user, so that you can direct follow-up training and recognition.

Close the AI Email Security Gap

The advent of AI-powered phishing requires organizations to take a more holistic approach to email protection. That means enlisting employees as cyber-resilient assets and reporters, rather than treating them as risks to be mitigated.

The PhishMe SAT Platform is the only solution that delivers on the cybersecurity potential of your employees. By combining the PhishMe SAT Platform with the Cofense Phishing Detection and Response (PDR) solution, you can build a holistic defense that closes the dangerous AI email security gap.
