Case Study: Multinational Defense and Aerospace Company achieves less than 2% phishing susceptibility across 8,000 users with Cofense

Defense Firm Cuts Phishing Risk to Below 2%

Multinational Defense and Aerospace Company was facing relentless phishing attacks targeting its intellectual property across 8,000 users on five continents. After investing in technology with limited effect, the company chose Cofense and deployed Cofense PhishMe and Cofense Reporter to build a scalable, human-driven security awareness program that engaged employees as the first line of defense.

Cofense implemented simulated phishing scenarios with immediate education and a one‑click reporting workflow that routes suspicious messages to the global SOC. The result: phishing susceptibility fell from 21% to under 2% across the 8,000-user population (under 1% for repeat offenders), quarterly global simulations were adopted, and reporting and incident triage measurably improved thanks to Cofense.
