Case Study: Cofense achieves unified cloud endpoint management and major IT time savings with VMware Workspace ONE

Cofense Unifies and Improves Endpoint Management in the Cloud

Cofense, a phishing threat‑management company with about 550 employees—most of them remote—needed a cloud‑only, cross‑platform approach to endpoint management. The IT team struggled with time‑consuming, platform‑specific deployments, limited control of macOS devices, and the need to enforce SOC 2 Type 1 security policies while delivering a seamless experience for 500+ remote workers.

Cofense adopted VMware Workspace ONE (AirWatch) to unify Windows 10 and macOS management, using Azure AD and Apple DEP for automatic enrollment and policy enforcement (encryption, lock timeouts, malware protection). The solution cut roughly 625 IT configuration hours, enabled laptops to be ready in under half a day, improved patching and compliance, reduced endpoint costs, and reclaimed weeks of employee productivity through faster onboarding and remote troubleshooting.
