CIT Announces New Cyber Security Offering

CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – June 29, 2018 – PRLog — Complete Interactive Technologies, Inc. (CIT) a leading IT Managed Services provider offering business security solutions, network infrastructure, cloud migrations, mobility, business phone systems, and AV solutions to small and mid-size businesses today announced it is offering state-of-the-art cyber security software, techniques and tools to protect its customers and local businesses from cyber-attacks.

Small businesses have disproportionately been the victim of cyber security attacks. A study conducted last year by Verizon indicates that 58% of malware attack victims are small businesses. The percentage of small businesses experiencing a cyber attack in the past 12 months has also increased for the second straight year and reaching 61% in 2017, according to a report on SMB Cybersecurity by the Ponemon Institute.

Black hat hackers see small and mid-size businesses as easy targets due to a lack of cyber security investment. While small businesses may not offer the same valuable data cache of larger enterprises, their business data is still very valuable. Criminals seek employee and customer information that can be used for subsequent identity theft.

Cyber criminals attack small business using phishing, mobile apps, and malware advertising. Phishing uses fake links to get users to provide sensitive information, by posing as an authority. Hackers embed malicious links into emails, attachments or images usually leading to page requesting the input of sensitive information. Hackers are actively attacking mobile devices through third party apps, malware and unsecured WiFi.  Malware advertising uses fake ads directing victims to malicious sites or downloads also continue to be a favorite of cyber criminals.

In response to the increase in cyber crime CIT, Southeast Michigan’s premier provider of business security solutions, has increased its arsenal of cyber security solutions. “These threats all point to the importance of SMBs consulting with an expert in cybersecurity,” stated Michael D. Meldrum, CEO at CIT. “We are well-equipped to deal with threats like these, in addition to the new threats that will undoubtedly arise in the coming years. Any small business leveraging technology as one of its key productivity drivers needs a team like CIT to face-off with the hackers of the world.”
