About Cofense
Cofense is a cybersecurity company that focuses only on phishing defence. It sells a platform that detects phishing campaigns, removes them from inboxes, and trains employees to recognise and report attacks. The company says its AI is trained on real phishing attacks and is supervised by human analysts. It also offers managed services where its own team runs detection, remediation, and training for customers. The platform is aimed at enterprise security teams. It connects detection, remediation, and training so that verified attacks become simulations for staff. Cofense says this approach removes entire campaigns rather than single emails and measures how well employees recognise real threats. The company reports that its managed services reduce the load on security operations centres and improve employee resilience.
