Cofense Phishing Training

Cofense Phishing Training is a cloud-based security awareness platform from Cofense for MSPs and enterprises seeking to reduce employee vulnerability to phishing attacks. The platform combines phishing simulation campaigns with adaptive training delivery, allowing organizations to test employee responses to realistic threats sourced from real-world attacks and immediately train those who click malicious links. Cofense Phishing Training includes a reporting button that employees can install in their email client, turning staff into an active defence layer by enabling them to report suspicious emails directly to security teams.

The platform provides training content built from real phishing threats captured from enterprise environments, so simulations and training modules reflect actual attack methods including email, SMS (smishing) and voice (vishing) scenarios. The platform handles user enrollment through synchronization with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, streamlining bulk setup for MSPs managing multiple client tenants without requiring manual directory work. Cofense Phishing Training automatically tracks simulation results, training completion and employee progress over time, generating both internal dashboards and client-facing reports to demonstrate security awareness improvement.

The platform is deployed entirely through the cloud with no on-premises or self-hosted option, making it accessible to distributed teams and reducing infrastructure overhead for MSPs. Pricing for Cofense Phishing Training uses a per-user model but is quote-only and not published on Cofense's website; MSPs must contact Cofense directly for rates based on expected user volume and contract terms. There is no free trial or free tier available. Support is provided via email. When evaluating Cofense Phishing Training, MSPs should confirm that the training content library covers their clients' specific compliance requirements, such as HIPAA, PCI DSS or NIST frameworks, since training module coverage varies by vendor.

Cofense Phishing Training suits MSPs seeking to build employee phishing resilience alongside email security gateways and endpoint detection solutions, particularly for clients without established security awareness programs. The reporting button and automated remediation training help turn employees into an active defence layer by training them after they click simulated threats. Pricing is quote-only with no published per-user rates, so request a demo quote and compare against KnowBe4, Proofpoint Security Awareness Training and Breach Secure Now to benchmark costs for your typical client size. During the sales demo, confirm that Cofense's training module library covers your clients' specific compliance frameworks (HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, SOC 2, etc.), since training content breadth varies between vendors. Verify how the platform handles multiple admin roles if you need granular permissions across different client accounts.
