NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Employees are often the last line of defense against cyber-attack with almost 95% attack of breaches being attributed to human error.. Wombat’s CyberStrength® product is a first-of-its kind employee assessment solution that enables security officers to create, administer, and analyze the results of a custom knowledge evaluation. It offers the ideal starting point for security awareness and training programs as it enables companies to gauge their employees’ understanding of topics that are critical to a strong security posture. It is a customizable knowledge assessment tool with more than 150 pre-written cyber security scenario-based questions translated into 12 languages. CyberStrength now includes seven Predefined CyberStrength knowledge assessments.

Wombat’s seven Predefined CyberStrength assessments include 10 to 15 evaluation questions about each of the following key threat vectors, including phishing, passwords and other security safeguards, mobile devices and security outside the office, online safety, protecting personal data, and PHI and PCI DSS compliance. The predefined assessments offer “click and go” type functionality, simplifying planning and delivery of targeted assessments and education. Administrators have the flexibility to set a desired proficiency goal for each assessment, and choose the modules they’d like to assign for follow-up training. Using Wombat’s Auto-Enrollment feature, they can automatically send an appropriate training assignment to any user who falls below the predetermined proficiency score. The CyberStrength product also offers the ability to create custom questions, enables companies to assess their employees’ understanding of organization-specific policies.

Knowledge assessments like CyberStrength allows companies to establish a baseline of their employees’ understanding of a broad range of security-related topics, and provides detailed reports to benchmark, track, and trend user knowledge. By using CyberStrength to identity organizational vulnerabilities, companies can effectively target their education efforts, reduce overall training time, and mitigate risk.
