the CEO – sent to an employee in finance
and requesting a quick wire transfer. The
latter is a classic case of business email
compromise (BEC), which the FBI estimates
will cause over US$9 billion in losses in
2018 alone. In short, there is no easier
way for fraudsters and threat actors to
target your organisation than with phishing
emails. It costs the phisher little – he
doesn’t need a gun to rob you.

What is the Cofense approach to
phishing defence and how does it
leverage human intelligence?
Our name says it all. Cofense (formerly
PhishMe) believes that only a collaborative
defence can stop phishing in its tracks – as
soon as attacks hit and before they do grave
damage. Our approach begins with human
intelligence and relies on it throughout.Cofense
PhishMe, our security awareness and phishing
simulation solution, conditions employees to
recognise suspicious emails and report them
with one click using Cofense Reporter.
By sending simulated phishing emails –
especially scenarios based on real attacks
– organisations not only educate the people
who are the targets but train them to help
generate a stream of human intel.
