Cofense

Cofense is a phishing detection and response platform, formerly PhishMe. Its homepage, read directly, is not a pricing page and shows no prices, plan names, minimums or trials, only Get a Demo and Request a Demo links plus an ROI calculator, so this is a contact-sales product. Ownership reports conflict: Crunchbase lists Pamplona Capital Management as the acquirer, Tracxn says it was acquired by BlackRock on August 22, 2019, and the original PhishMe-to-Cofense deal was a private-equity purchase valued at $400 million. I did not find any acquisition of Cofense by Proofpoint. Leadership reporting also conflicts, with a January 2025 item naming Marc Olesen as chief executive while another source lists Rohyt Belani, so treat both as unconfirmed.

On AI, Cofense acquired Cyberfish, an Israeli provider of cloud-native, AI-based email security, which added machine-learning phishing protection. I found no mention of a product called Protect Triage AI. A federal listing says the Cofense PhishMe Enterprise licence for a GSA enterprise phishing solution was set to expire on September 29, 2026, which suggests government customers renew through formal procurement. The date metadata on several sources is unreliable, so confirm the current product line and ownership with Cofense directly before buying.

Cofense suits enterprises and government agencies that want employees to report phishing and a team to triage and remediate it. Compare KnowBe4, Hoxhunt and Proofpoint. Browse the Cybersecurity tools directory for more.
