Our collective defense suite combines timely attack intelligence sourced from employees with best-in-class incident response technologies to stop attacks faster and stay ahead of breaches. Cofense customers include Global 1000 organizations in defense, energy, financial services, healthcare and manufacturing sectors that understand how changing user behavior will improve security, aid incident response and reduce the risk of compromise.

"A PhishMe foi criada para desafiar o clichê de que as pessoas são o elo mais fraco na segurança", disse Rohyt Belani, CEO e um dos fundadores da Cofense. "As mais de 1,7 mil médias e grandes empresas que são clientes nossas afirmam que seus funcionários podem não só ser preparados para ficarem menos expostos a ataques cibernéticos, mas também se transformar em sensores para fornecer informações com grande eficácia. O kit de soluções da Cofense utiliza informações internas sobre ataques geradas por funcionários em conjunto com tecnologias de resposta específicas para interromper a corrente de ataque na entrega. A Cofense reflete toda a amplitude do nosso portfólio de soluções de orquestração, resposta e detecção de ataques em uma empresa como um todo."

A Cofense passa a contar também com o apoio de várias empresas de capital privado para financiar futuras inovações por meio de iniciativas de crescimento orgânicas e inorgânicas. Com centenas de clientes corporativos em mais de 50 países e 23 setores da indústria, a Cofense continuará oferecendo soluções líderes em defesa antiphishing na confluência entre a inteligência humana e a tecnologia.

"Esta aquisição fortalece ainda mais o alinhamento entre os nossos diretores, funcionários e investidores neste momento em que nos concentramos na construção de uma empresa duradoura", adicionou Belani. "Com a segurança cibernética sendo prioridade para empresas em toda parte, nosso objetivo é continuar levando produtos inovadores a mercados ao redor do mundo, ajudando a impedir ataques ativos mais rápido do que nunca." 

A nova identidade e a aquisição vêm na esteira de mais um ano de crescimento espantoso para a empresa, com importantes marcos como:

  • Aproximadamente 80% de crescimento anual composto da receita nos últimos quatro anos.
  • Instalação do PhishMe Reporter® em mais de 10 milhões de estações de trabalho de usuários finais.
  • Lançamento da PhishMe Free™, a primeira ferramenta de simulação gratuita do segmento, voltada a pequenas e médias empresas.
  • Expansão global constante, com a inauguração de filiais na Austrália, em Cingapura, em Dubai e na Arábia Saudita.
  • Ampliação de parcerias por meio do Programa de Aliança Tecnológico (TAP, da sigla em inglês), com mais 14 parcerias com importantes provedoras de segurança do mundo todo para ajudar clientes a potencializarem o retorno de seus investimentos.

A abordagem exclusiva e a excelente diretoria da Cofense ganharam diversos prêmios do setor em 2017, entre eles:

  • Posicionada como líder no Quadrante Mágico de 2017 da Gartner em Treinamento Informatizado de Conscientização sobre Segurança.
  • Ranqueada pelo terceiro ano consecutivo na lista Deloitte Fast 500.
  • Reconhecida em 2017 como Empresa de Crescimento Mais Rápido e Melhor Empresa para Trabalhar pelo Washington Business Journal.
  • CEO e um dos fundadores da PhishMe, Rohyt Belani recebeu o prêmio Entrepreneur of The Year® da Ernst & Young na categoria Segurança para a região norte-americana do Médio Atlântico, foi indicado pelo Washington Business Journal em 2017 na lista "40 under 40" e foi lembrado como um Titã da Tecnologia em 2017 pela Washingtonian Magazine.
