PhishMe (now known as Cofense) was a cybersecurity company founded in 2008 that specialized in phishing defense solutions and security awareness training. The company developed a platform that helped organizations combat phishing attacks through employee education and simulation programs. PhishMe’s core product enabled companies to send simulated phishing emails to their employees, testing their awareness and response to potential cyber threats. The platform included detailed analytics and reporting features that allowed organizations to track employee performance and identify areas requiring additional training. In 2018, PhishMe was acquired by private equity firms and rebranded as Cofense. The acquisition was valued at approximately $400 million. Prior to the acquisition, the company had raised several rounds of funding, including a $42.5 million Series C round in 2016. The company served numerous Fortune 1000 companies and government agencies across multiple countries. Their technology solutions helped organizations reduce susceptibility to phishing attacks by up to 95% through repeated training and simulation exercises. Under its original name, PhishMe was recognized by various industry awards and was featured in cybersecurity publications. The company maintained headquarters in Leesburg, Virginia, with additional offices in London, Dubai, and other international locations.
