These elements work together to prevent data loss, reduce risks, and ensure compliance with regulations.

Not to worry. We've got you covered.

Customized Security Plans

Every organization is unique, and so are its cybersecurity needs. That's why we tailor our strategies to align with your specific business goals and regulatory requirements. Whether your business benefits from the practical guidelines of the CIS (Center for Internet Security) framework or must adhere to the strict standards set by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), we adapt our services to meet you where you are.

Cyber Hygiene

According to Barracuda Networks and UC Berkeley, 91% of all cyberattacks start with an email. Phishing, spearphishing, whaling, and Business Email Compromise (BEC) are just a few of the threats that can infiltrate your inbox. Email security is about more than preventing spam—it's about protecting your business from the devastating consequences of clicking on the wrong link. Our cyber training programs will equip your team with the awareness and skills needed to recognize and avoid these threats, and what to do about them.

5 Common Cyber Threats in 2025 (and How to Avoid Them)

February 11, 20252 min read

Protect Yourself Online: CMIT Dallas Cybersecurity Tips

Cyber threats like phishing, ransomware, and malware are constant dangers in today’s digital world. As your trusted IT partner, CMIT Dallas is here to guide you through practical steps to safeguard your data and devices.

Phishing Attacks

Phishing attacks are a common cyber threat, tricking people into giving away personal data through fake messages or websites. Always verify the sender’s email address and avoid clicking suspicious links.

Ransomware

Ransomware locks your files and demands payment to release them. It spreads through email attachments and unsafe downloads. Protect yourself by keeping software updated and regularly backing up your files.

Malware

Malware can steal your data or spy on you. Combat this with antivirus software and by avoiding downloads from unknown sources.


How Can You Protect Yourself Online?

Online safety is critical. Follow these tips to reduce your exposure to cyber threats:

1. Use Strong Passwords

Use unique, complex passwords for each account. Combine letters, numbers, and symbols, and update them regularly.

2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a security layer by requiring an extra step to log in, like entering a code sent to your phone. Activate 2FA wherever possible.

3. Be Careful with Public Wi-Fi

Public Wi-Fi is risky and can expose your data to hackers. Always use a VPN to secure your connection.


Why is Cybersecurity Important for Everyone?

Protect Personal Information

Your personal data is valuable. Cybercriminals can use it for identity theft or fraud. Always think twice before sharing sensitive details online.

Secure Financial Transactions

Online banking and shopping are convenient but can be risky. Only use secure websites and monitor your accounts regularly for unusual activity.


What to Do if You’re a Victim of a Cyber Attack

Even with precautions, cyber attacks can happen. Knowing how to respond is essential.

Report the Incident

Contact the relevant authorities immediately. This helps with investigations and reduces further damage.

Change Your Passwords

If a breach occurs, update all your passwords immediately to block unauthorized access.


How Will Cyber Threats Evolve?

AI-Powered Attacks

Hackers are now leveraging AI to create smarter, more targeted attacks. Stay informed to stay ahead.

IoT Vulnerabilities

With more devices connected to the internet, IoT devices are becoming prime targets. Ensure all devices have updated security measures.

"CMIT has given me peace of mind in my business by providing me with ongoing protection, monitoring and an invaluable resource of providing technical help 24/7 if needed. They have assisted me with various technical needs in my business and I appreciate small businesses supporting other small businesses in our community."

"CMIT sent Leslie out to deal with my computer issue - which she handled so fast I can't remember now what it was! Leslie was patient, informative, and engaged me with confidence and relief. She did not talk down to me as if I didn't have a modicum of sense - electronically - but instead was in a teaching mode. I'm so glad to know I can call CMIT whenever I have a problem and allay my fear!"

Shari

"Every business NEEDS Carmen and Jaime with CMIT Solutions. They have taken my business to the next level and I am so grateful to have them on our team. It's like having our own personal IT department. We are more productive, more professional, and ready to worry about things other than IT. As a construction company - it is not in our wheelhouse to manage this side of the business and as a small business it's not super easy to know who to contact. They are affordable and knowledgeable and can easily take any business to where they envision. They come with my highest recommendation."
