Plus Consulting and Wombat Gear Up for CyberSecurity Month

Wombat Security Technologies, a provider of cyber security awareness and training solutions, launched the industry’s first simulated USB attack service to address the growing threat of fraud due to rogue memory devices loaded with malicious malware and spyware.

Wombat’s USBGuru™ is a software-as-a-service product that enables security officers to assess and train employees not to use removable memory devices of unknown origin.  An expansion of Wombat’s family of Social Engineering Assessment products, USBGuru improves upon traditional penetration testing, allowing organizations to assess and mitigate risk at the same time by teaching employees to defend against attack. USBGuru follows in the footsteps of PhishGuru, Wombat’s award winning email phishing simulation service, recognized for its ease-of-use and proven effectiveness.

“Advanced persistent threats continue to target the human element within organizations with the malicious use of memory devices as one of the most recent attack vectors to threaten businesses, said Joe Ferrara, President and CEO of Wombat Security Technologies. “Performing mock attacks on end users and providing just-in-time training has already been scientifically proven to be effective at reducing user susceptibility to attack.  Wombat’s new service will extend this training to the use of memory devices to help companies protect against the latest breeds of malware and spyware used to infect corporate networks and steal valuable data.”
