Case Study: AES Corporation achieves stronger multi-language phishing awareness and reporting with Cofense

AES Corporation - Customer Case Study

The AES Corporation, a Fortune 200 multinational energy company with 19,000 employees and contractors across 17 countries, needed to protect a multilingual, multicultural and geographically dispersed workforce from phishing. AES engaged Cofense and deployed Cofense PhishMe and Cofense Reporter, supported by Cofense Professional Services, to run customized, multi‑language phishing simulations and make it easy for users to report suspicious emails.

Cofense implemented tailored PhishMe campaigns in multiple languages and the Cofense Reporter in‑client reporting button, plus professional services to refine regional and language-specific simulations. As a result, AES now trains 19,000 people across 17 countries and has seen strong improvements in employees’ ability to recognize and report phishing—reducing susceptibility, increasing reporting of real threats, and materially strengthening AES’s cybersecurity awareness and resiliency thanks to Cofense.
