Assess performance against real phish

Validator enables you to understand how your secure email gateway (SEG) will hold up against real-world threats. Validator is powered by Cofense Intelligence – using live, active phishing threats to test the performance of your SEG – not stale pay loads that have previously been identified.

Cofense Validator easily identifies overlaps in email security controls, allowing you to consolidate security investments and reduce costs, all without increasing risk. Or, when initially determining which SEG vendor will best meet your needs, use Validator to evaluate and demonstrate SEG performance and make data driven decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you test your environment with current threats?

With Cofense Validator, a user sets up a dedicated mailbox in your mail environment that is configured with an auto-forward rule to send any emails it receives back to Cofense. Real threats identified by Cofense Intelligence are sent to the mailbox. The email is either allowed by the SEG or blocked. Cofense Validator analyzes emails auto-forwarded from the customer’s mailbox to determine if the SEG performed any actions (such as modifying the URL or attachment). Customers review the test results and modify their SEG configuration to ensure a balance between efficiency and security.

How can you add improved performance to your SEG?

The best way to improve performance is by testing your SEG with real threats to determine if it performed any actions (such as modifying the URL or attachment). Based on this, you can modify your SEG configuration to ensure a balance between efficiency and security.
