PITTSBURGH, PA--(Marketwired - March 25, 2014) - Wombat Security Technologies (Wombat) today announced that it is adding awareness materials to its comprehensive security education and training offering. In addition to Wombat Security's software solutions for assessing and training end users, Wombat now offers security awareness materials to reinforce these lessons visually. Visual reminders of secure behaviors can aid in learning retention and reduce a company's vulnerability to attack. These tools are an instrumental part of a Continuous Security Awareness and Education Program. The creation of these materials is the result of strong customer demand with the inaugural order coming from a major transportation company.

Wombat is making these security awareness materials available to their partners, prospects, and customers. Dell SecureWorks will include these awareness materials, as well as the rest of the Wombat security education offering, as part of their Managed Security Awareness programs so that their clients have a comprehensive educational solution with constant reinforcement.

Wombat is providing a complete offering of posters, articles, screen saver or electronic message board images that reinforce the lessons taught in their interactive training modules. The same images and icons used in Wombat's interactive training modules are used in the security awareness materials to aid in the recall of learned topics.
