【180206 Pittsburgh Business Times】Sunnyvale-based cybersecurity company Proofpoint has acquired Wombat Security Technologies, a security awareness and training software company, for $225 million.
Pittsburgh-based Wombat is a Carnegie Mellon spin-off founded based on research into phishing attacks.
“The acquisition of Wombat gives us greater ability to help protect our customers from today’s people-centric cyberattacks, as cybercriminals look for new ways to exploit the human factor," said Proofpoint CEO Gary Steele in a prepared statement. "We are thrilled to welcome Wombat’s employees to the Proofpoint team.”
The company plans to incorporate Wombat's work into an advanced email solution suite, which will be available in the first half of 2018, according to the release.
With the acquisition, Proofpoint plans to increase revenue by $30 million to $32 million, the release said.
With an increase in the use of phishing and malware, Wombat CEO Joe Ferrara said in a statement that the company's mission to educate and empower end-users will progress with the acquisiton.
“We look forward to continuing our leadership and innovation as part of Proofpoint as we continue to lead the market for effective, measurable security awareness training which changes employee behavior and reduces enterprise risk,” he said.
