COFENSE PHISHME
Empower employees to identify threats with world class security awareness training
Train Employees with REAL threats
Leveraging data from our Phishing Defense Center (PDC) and Intelligence team, educate users on the REAL threats and tactics facing your company. Through simulations of current threats bypassing Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) and award-winning content, you will empower your employees to recognize and report the latest threats facing your organization.
Train with Real Phishing Threats
- Insights from Cofense Intelligence, Cofense Labs and the Cofense Phishing Defense Center (PDC) feed real, current phishing threats into our simulations.
- Search for scenarios based on phish observed to bypass Secure Email Gateways (SEGs), including those deployed at your organization—simply use the SEG Misses filter.
- With our SEG miss templates, you can find email threat scenarios, like BEC, matching attacks against your company or industry.
Valuable Reporting Metrics
- Combine reporting data to understand and predict how users are likely to react during a real attack to understand program effectiveness and resilience.
- Board Reports allow your executives to monitor company performance and track the change in organizational resiliency to email attacks.
- By encouraging end users to report suspicious emails quickly, you can switch your program focus from click rates to overall reporting, the metric that truly matters.
Intelligent Automation
- With multiple Playbook support, you can easily execute simulations programs for different regions, languages, or competency levels.
- Recommend scenarios based on program history and industry relevance with our Smart Suggest capability.
- With Responsive Delivery, you can maximize user engagement by delivering simulations only when users are active in their inbox which eliminates technical and time zone related scheduling issues.
PHISHME COMBINES WITH REPORTER
- Allow your newly trained employees to report email threats with one click thanks to Cofense Reporter.
- Reporter collects reports of emails sent from Cofense PhishMe, noting which users reported them and sending a personalized thank-you as positive reinforcement to keep users engaged.
- All reporting information is tracked and integrated into your Security Awareness Training (SAT) program metrics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Phishing awareness is more than being aware of what a phishing email may look like. Employees need to understand the different types of phishing, how attacks can be engineered, and the consequences of clicking on a malicious link, responding to an email with the requested information or opening a file.
Phishing training is one of the most effective ways to strengthen your company´s defenses against malware, ransomware, data loss, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks.
Moreover, when your users report threats, your company can receive reciprocal information about phishing attacks found elsewhere. Such information can be delivered in Machine-Readable Threat Intelligence (MRTI) format, so it can be fed directly into existing security mechanisms (i.e. malicious URL detection systems), which update your technically driven online defenses against malware, data loss, and ransomware attacks.
One of the best ways to raise phishing awareness is to send simulated phishing emails to employees and stage attacks. Spear phishing and BEC attacks can be highly refined and personal. To make simulation training more impactful, include spear phishing awareness training by crafting messages that are addressed to an individual or specific group. Employ the personal and professional information you have on file to better simulate real phishing attacks that utilize social engineering. Sending a phishing email simulation containing a fake invoice query is simpler but may lack the relevant content that will make it an effective educational tool for every department.
The goals of phishing email simulation should be to build employee confidence, encourage communication, and establish habits that mitigate phishing attacks. Successfully using simulations is just one part of a larger phishing awareness campaign.

A phishing awareness training program can be part of on-boarding, regular training, or done randomly to test the phishing security awareness of individuals or groups. The most effective programs will be thorough and ongoing.
Your phishing training should feature feedback, monitoring, and reporting.
Feedback should go something like this: “Here’s what you did right and here’s what you did wrong,” noting the reasons why. This lets employees and senior management discover both their strengths and the areas they need to improve upon.
With PhishMe Integrated Learning, you can more easily monitor and manage training courses for users or groups of users, all within one platform.
