Cofense unveiled new enhancements to its PhishMe Employee Security Awareness Training Platform.
Employee Engagement Index, is set to transform how organizations manage email security risks.
The introduction of the Employee Engagement Index transforms employees into security allies.
This innovative tool continuously monitors employee interactions with PhishMe simulations, providing real-time data that offers valuable insights into their readiness to combat phishing threats, before they become damaging to an organization's revenue and reputation.
It is a well-known fact that most successful cyberattacks on businesses begin with a phishing email that slips past existing email security measures, even those new measures using AI. This makes employee email security awareness programs a critical component of a comprehensive, layered defense strategy.
When employees are properly trained and motivated, they become a formidable first line of defense.
PhishMe's Employee Engagement Index leverages over a decade of Cofense curated threat intelligence and combines those data with current employee behavioral patterns.
The EEI then generates a continuously updated proficiency score, displaying a personalized metric that assesses individuals, cohorts, groups, and departments, allowing organizations to quickly pinpoint areas needing improvement and allows for immediate, targeted remediation efforts.
