Case Study: Advantage NZ achieves 7-minute detection and auto-quarantine of phishing attacks with Cofense PDR

Advantage NZ Delivers Managed PDR To detect and quarantine phishing Attacks in 7 minutes

Advantage NZ, a long-established New Zealand MSSP, was seeing hundreds of malicious emails reach user inboxes and an average of 13 successful phishing compromises per customer each year. Their existing LMS-style training produced low reporting (about 25 reports/month) and didn’t close the loop, so Advantage NZ standardized on the Cofense Phishing Detection and Response (PDR) platform to gain visibility into phishing that evaded other controls.

Using Cofense PDR as a managed service, Advantage NZ deployed the Reporter button, Triage clustering and Vision auto-quarantine to automate detection and response. Reported suspicious emails rose from 25 to 215 per customer per month, the team added 300+ IOCs per customer, eliminated successful phishing incidents for clients, and now stops attacks across its customer base within seven minutes of a reported phish.
