Wombat Security Repeatedly Recognized for Its Growth, Vision, and Service in the Security Awareness and Training Market

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wombat Security Technologies (Wombat), the leading provider of cyber security awareness and training, today announced it ranked #135 on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, and energy tech companies in North America. This is the third consecutive year Wombat has ranked in the top 150 of the Fast 500, and its 840% growth resulted in a higher position than in 2016. Wombat now serves well more than 2,000 enterprise customers with its differentiated, innovative, and proven Security Education Platform, which helps organizations of all sizes change employee behavior and reduce the risk of a successful cyber-attack.

The proliferation of ransomware, the massive Google Docs and Gmail phish, and the significant rise in damaging business email compromise attacks all exemplify the need to educate and empower end users," said Joe Ferrara, CEO of Wombat.
