Wombat Security Announces Mobile-Responsive, 508 Compliant Modules to Increase Training Flexibility and Accessibility for End Users

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Wombat Security Technologies (Wombat), the leading provider of cyber security awareness and training, today announces an update to their platform that provides users with the flexibility to train anytime, anywhere and on any type of connected device, with the release of seven mobile-responsive modules. Included in the mobile responsive offerings are two new mini-modules: Protecting Against Ransomware and USB Device Safety.

The ransomware mini-module provides brief, yet comprehensive training on how to spot and help prevent rising ransomware attacks across all industries. As infected USB's are often an overlooked threat, this module provides end users with the tools to protect both their personal and corporate data through awareness of the risks associated with flash drives and other IoT devices.

"Today's diverse workforce is on the move. Offering employees these flexible, accessible options allows them to find time to complete trainings when they are the most engaged and really digest the lessons presented," said Joe Ferrara President and CEO, Wombat Security. "This first set of mobile-responsive modules is part of the continuous effort to equip organizations with the best tools to educate their employees about cyber security in an ever-changing landscape."

Additionally, thse mobile-responsive modules conform to the U.S. Section 508 standard and the international Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA standard, ensuring end users with disabilities have access to complete training requirements.
