AI-based email security provider Cyberfish acquired by Cofense

US-based phishing detection and response solution provider Cofense announced last week the acquisition of Israel's Cyberfish, a provider of next-generation phishing protection powered by computer vision and advanced machine learning technology. Cofense said that by integrating innovative machine learning capabilities from Cyberfish with Cofense's detection and response technology, the American company will bring to market a holistic, advanced automation solution for email protection, detection, and response. According to Cofense, organizations are rethinking their email security architecture and technology stack with the acceleration of digital transformation and migration to cloud email services from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Cofense's phishing intelligence, already deployed in thousands of enterprises around the world, will be used to train and evolve Cyberfish's machine-learning algorithms to block malicious emails in real-time, the company said. "Cyberfish is excited to join forces with Cofense to solve the phishing problem and take email security to another level," said Dima Kagan, Cyberfish CEO and Co-founder.
