Think only large corporations face serious cyberattacks? Think again. Small businesses are now the prime targets for cybercriminals because they tend to have weaker defenses and are more likely to pay ransoms.
Unlike Fortune 500 companies that can absorb breach costs, most small businesses simply can't afford the financial hit.
IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals that the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million, factoring in downtime, lost customers, legal fees, ransom payments, and reputational damage.
Frightening, isn't it?
But here's the silver lining: a revolutionary tool is empowering businesses like yours to detect and stop cyberattacks before they wreak havoc, transforming the cybersecurity landscape.
Introducing a Smarter Defense
This advanced technology is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the term—just understand its powerful function.
Imagine a vigilant digital security guard monitoring your systems 24/7.
While traditional antivirus software only blocks known threats, EDR continuously monitors every activity on your devices—every login, file change, or unusual behavior. If it detects suspicious activity like ransomware spreading or unauthorized logins from strange locations, EDR immediately intervenes to neutralize the threat.
Why EDR Is Essential Today
Cybercriminals have evolved beyond old tactics. They now use stolen credentials, disguise malware as everyday files, and exploit a single employee mistake to infiltrate your systems.
EDR halts these sophisticated threats in their tracks—protecting your business from devastating attacks.
More Than Just Smart—Often Mandatory
Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance providers are increasingly requiring EDR solutions. Without it, your insurance may refuse to cover breach damages—like trying to claim fire damage without a smoke detector.
