Think cyberattacks only target large corporations? Think again. Small businesses are now the prime targets for cybercriminals because they often have weaker defenses and are more likely to pay ransoms.
Unlike Fortune 500 companies that can absorb breach costs, most small businesses face devastating financial impacts.
According to IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024, the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million, factoring in downtime, lost clientele, legal expenses, ransom demands, and reputational damage.
Sounds alarming? It is.
But here's the silver lining: innovative technology now empowers businesses like yours to detect cyber threats early and prevent damage, transforming cybersecurity strategies.
Introducing a Smarter Defense Strategy
This breakthrough is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the term—just understand its powerful role.
Imagine a vigilant digital security guard monitoring your systems 24/7.
Unlike traditional antivirus that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously monitors every activity on your devices—logins, file changes, unusual behaviors—and swiftly intervenes if it detects suspicious actions like ransomware attempts or unauthorized access.
Why EDR Is Essential Now More Than Ever
Cybercriminals have evolved; they no longer rely on simple hacks. They use stolen credentials, mask malware as everyday files, and exploit the smallest employee error.
EDR halts these sophisticated threats in their tracks, protecting your business from catastrophic damage.
Not Just Smart—Increasingly Mandatory
Many business owners don't realize this: cyber insurance providers are beginning to require EDR solutions. Without it, your policy might not cover breach damages—like filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.
