Modern Phishing Defence
Cofense UK Authorised Distributor
Modern Phishing Defence for Microsoft 365
Phishing continues to be the leading cause of cyber breaches because attackers increasingly bypass traditional email security and target people rather than technology.
Cofense helps organisations detect, investigate and remediate phishing attacks that reach employee inboxes. Rather than replacing Microsoft Defender or existing email security, Cofense complements your current investment by adding user reporting, AI-assisted investigation, threat intelligence, mailbox remediation and human risk management.
As the UK Authorised Distributor for Cofense, Wise Distribution works with resellers, managed service providers and enterprise customers to help organisations strengthen their phishing defence and reduce human cyber risk.
What we feel sets them apart
Most email security solutions focus on preventing phishing emails from reaching the inbox. Cofense starts where traditional email security stops.
Rather than trying to block every attack, Cofense assumes that some phishing emails will inevitably bypass preventative controls. Its strength lies in helping organisations rapidly detect, investigate and remediate those threats before they lead to credential compromise, Business Email Compromise (BEC) or wider security incidents.
What makes Cofense different is its human-centred approach. Every employee becomes an active part of your security strategy by reporting suspicious emails with a single click in Microsoft Outlook. Those reports are automatically analysed, prioritised and enriched with real-world phishing intelligence, allowing security teams to identify active campaigns, understand their impact and remove malicious emails from every affected mailbox quickly and consistently.
Unlike many security platforms that rely solely on automated detection, Cofense combines human intelligence, AI-assisted investigation and real-world phishing threat intelligence to provide earlier visibility into attacks that have already bypassed preventative controls.
This enables organisations to:
- Detect sophisticated phishing attacks that traditional controls miss.
- Reduce investigation times through AI-assisted phishing triage.
- Identify related phishing campaigns across Microsoft 365.
- Remove malicious emails from every affected mailbox at scale.
- Measure and reduce human cyber risk through behavioural insights and realistic phishing simulations.
- Strengthen Microsoft 365 security without replacing existing investments.
The result is a complete post-delivery phishing defence strategy that complements Microsoft Defender, Secure Email Gateways and existing email security, helping organisations improve operational resilience, reduce attacker dwell time and respond to phishing incidents faster.
Wise Words
Microsoft Defender, Secure Email Gateways and email filtering remain essential layers of every modern cybersecurity strategy. They prevent the majority of phishing emails, malware and known threats from reaching employee inboxes.
However, no preventative security technology blocks every phishing attack.
Today’s attackers use AI-generated phishing, Business Email Compromise (BEC), credential harvesting and highly targeted social engineering techniques designed specifically to bypass automated security controls. Once a malicious email reaches an employee’s inbox, organisations need visibility, rapid investigation and the ability to respond before a single click becomes a security incident.
This is where Cofense complements your existing Microsoft 365 security investment.
Rather than replacing Microsoft Defender or your Secure Email Gateway, Cofense strengthens your post-delivery phishing defence by helping security teams:
- Enable one-click phishing reporting directly from Microsoft Outlook.
- Investigate reported phishing emails quickly using AI-assisted analysis.
- Identify related phishing campaigns across Microsoft 365.
- Remove malicious emails from user mailboxes before further compromise.
- Measure and reduce employee phishing risk through behavioural insights.
- Deliver realistic phishing simulations and targeted security awareness training.
Together, these capabilities create a complete phishing defence lifecycle, helping organisations detect, investigate and remediate phishing attacks faster while continuously reducing human cyber risk.
