Before that, I was teaching at Carnegie Mellon University together with some of the companys founders.
What is the story behind the companys name wombat?
Wombats are short-legged, muscular animals that are native to Australia.
They are intelligent, have thick skin, and are particularly aggressive when protecting their family against predators.
Our most popular offering is ourAnti-Phishing Training Suite.

Our target audience is primarily medium and large sized organizations.
What is your pricing model?
Can smaller companies afford your products?
Wombat continues to add items to our product offerings based on market needs.
Our biggest challenge is the content development process.
The content that we deliver must be both accurate and engaging for the user.
We also translate it into multiple different languages.
They must have gaming skills, creativity, and strong writing skills.
What methods do you normally use to attract and engage with new customers?
This will be our third consecutive year hosting this conference.

How many active customers do you have today?
Where are they mainly located?
We have been growing our customer base in other regions due to the quality of our international features.
How would you describe your current typical customer?
I do not think we have a “typical” customer per se.
With different business models come different priorities from a cybersecurity education perspective.
Who are some of your biggest customers?
We provide security awareness and training solutions to some of the biggest and well-known brands in the world.
How do you see your products as different from other training products?
Most of our competitors focus on only one single piece of what we do.
Our approach is far more integrated.
I do not think any other training companies use extensive assessments like we do.
What are your top three security tips?
How do you see the security training market evolving in the upcoming years?
I think that security training will become more and more personalized to the individual user.
What are some of the future plans for Wombat?
One thing we are looking to do is to be more integrated into existing security systems and tools.
Ultimately, I believe the majority of users want to be secure and protect their company.
It is our privilege to enable them to do that.

How many hours a day do you normally work?
What do you like to do when you are not working?
I work about 10 hours per day.
Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?
Its very hard to make tangible progress if you dont measure and you dont prioritize.
Also remember that training is an incremental process and that you oughta provide training on a continual basis.
Provide the training, measure the results, make incremental changes, and then repeat.
just, comment on how to improve this article.
