We receieve a lot of emails per day. And I mean a Lot. Said that, this
program has been useful because it shows how to analyse emails and
detect possible phisihing attacks. The knowledge of emails is pretty big
and means you are always up to date in terms of scam emails. For daily
use it's pretty useful.

  • I wish we could attach a custom file to the phishing
  • I wish there was a way to edit the return screen when a user clicks on the phishing.
  • I would like there to be an integration with Google Workspace, to add a feature to Gmail, for the user to report as phishing, like there is for 365.

The platform gains new features and its UI is always being updated, the user's training and phishing history is a differentiator. Filters make it much easier to search for users, and we can add new fields to include different sectors and business units.

Alternatives Considered
Cofense LMS was received to us a bundled pack of Cofense LMS, Cofense Traiage, Cofense Vision and Cofense Reporter. The overall phishing and protection suite by Cofense is super effective to tackle and improve the phishing campaigns and mitigate the on going attacks. Other LMS are available in the market as a standalone option but LMS along with the other products from the Cofense suite makes it a great option to choose.

For the cost-benefit, we chose Kaspersky Security Awareness, we got a trial with many licenses, this was decisive in the purchase, as we were able to do a phishing simulation and test our maturity in relation to our users.

  • For compliance, we were looking for a tool that covered cybersecurity awareness training and phishing campaigns.
  • We studied other tools, but the price of phishing campaigns alone was too high. This tool integrated everything.
  • Our target in phishing campaigns was less than 4% of clicks, in more than 2 years using the platform, we went from 25% to 2% in click percentages in targeted and general campaigns.
