Don't think only large corporations face devastating cyberattacks. In reality, small businesses are now the prime targets for cybercriminals because they present easier access and a higher likelihood of paying ransoms.
Unlike Fortune 500 companies that might absorb the cost of a breach, most small businesses are financially vulnerable.
IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals that the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million. This sum covers downtime, customer loss, legal expenses, ransom payouts, and damage to your brand's reputation.
It sounds alarming—but there's a powerful solution making a difference for businesses like yours.
Introducing a Smarter Cyber Defense
Meet endpoint detection and response (EDR), a cutting-edge technology designed to identify cyber threats before they escalate. You don't need to remember the term—just know how it protects you.
Think of EDR as a vigilant digital security guard constantly monitoring your devices.
Unlike standard antivirus software that defends against known attacks, EDR tracks all activity: every login, file modification, and unusual behavior. When it detects suspicious actions—like ransomware spreading or unauthorized access from unknown locations—it immediately intervenes to neutralize the threat.
Why EDR Matters More Than Ever
Cybercriminals have evolved beyond old tactics. Now, they exploit stolen credentials, hide malware in ordinary files, and wait patiently for one employee error to strike.
EDR halts these advanced threats in their tracks, protecting your business before damage occurs.
Not Just Smart—Increasingly Essential
Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance policies are beginning to require tools like EDR. Without EDR, your insurance may deny coverage after a breach—similar to filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.
