LEESBURG, Va. – October 5, 2023 – Cofense, a global email security company and leading provider of phishing detection and response (PDR) solutions, has been named Best Overall Enterprise Email Security Solution Provider of the Year by the Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards, highlighting Cofense’s commitment to providing best in class threat detection, protection and response.

“We are honored to be recognized by the Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards once again,” said Josh Bartolomie, VP of Global Threat Services at Cofense. “Phishing attacks remain a crucial entry point for threat actors, in the past few months alone we have seen several major companies targeted with sophisticated campaigns. At Cofense we remain dedicated to supplying our customers and the security community with the technology and education needed to defend against cyberattacks.”

Cofense enables organizations to detect, report and respond to email phishing attacks evading traditional email security controls with world-class Security Awareness Training (SAT) combined with a comprehensive Managed Phishing Detection and Response (MPDR) solution. Cofense’s MPDR offering is facilitated through its Phishing Detection Center (PDC), which utilizes crowdsourced threat intelligence from a network of 35+ million human sensors worldwide to provide real-time threat detection for its customers. 

Over the past year, Cofense has been prioritizing a key initiative: providing the security community and customers with unique research on threats that hit close to home. In recent months, Cofense  has identified and mitigated several sophisticated threat campaigns targeting enterprises, all of which bypassed their traditional Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) including Emotet, Lokibot, and Agent Tesla. Cofense releases this information via Intelligence reports, which enables customers to familiarize themselves with the common tactics that threat actors employ against similar organizations. 

On October 11th at 11 AM ET, Cofense will host a Cybersecurity Awareness Month webinar, “Turning Your Greatest Vulnerability into Your Best Defense.” To register for the webinar and gain a deeper understanding into some of the most recent threat campaigns out there, as well as how to develop the right email security program to protect your organization, click here.
