Case Study: Skynet Innovations achieves major reduction in phishing attacks and prevents CEO-fraud losses with Cofense Protect MSP

Skynet Innovations - Customer Case Study

Skynet Innovations, a Cincinnati-based MSP and IT support company with 12 years in the industry, faced repeated CEO spoofing, CEO identity fraud and BEC attacks that led to employees sending money and gift cards to impostors. To stop fake email addresses and simplify client deployment, Skynet selected Cofense and implemented Cofense Protect MSP to harden phishing defenses.

Cofense deployed Protect MSP’s AI-driven anti-phishing automation to flag and inspect threats before they hit client inboxes, provide simple dashboard reporting, and eliminate the need for large manual mail-flow projects. As a result, Cofense has auto‑quarantined hundreds of malicious attacks, produced real-time proof for customers, and dramatically reduced attacks reaching mailboxes—previously clients were losing tens of thousands of dollars weekly to fraud.
