You don't have to be a giant corporation to fall victim to a devastating cyberattack. Small businesses are now prime targets for cybercriminals because they often have weaker defenses and are more likely to pay a ransom.
Unlike Fortune 500 companies, most small businesses cannot afford the massive financial fallout of a breach.
According to IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024, a typical data breach costs around $4.88 million, factoring in downtime, customer loss, legal fees, ransom demands, and reputational damage.
It's a staggering figure.
But there's hope: a powerful new defense tool is transforming how businesses detect and stop cyberattacks before damage happens.
Introducing a Smarter Cybersecurity Solution
This solution is known as endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the term—just understand its vital role.
Imagine a vigilant digital security guard monitoring every activity on your office computers.
Traditional antivirus software only blocks known threats, but EDR continuously analyzes all events—every login, file modification, and unusual activity. When it detects suspicious behavior, like ransomware spreading or unauthorized access from odd locations, EDR immediately neutralizes the threat.
Why EDR Is Crucial in Today's Cyber Landscape
Cybercriminals have evolved. Instead of blunt force attacks, they use stolen credentials, mask malware as harmless files, and rely on a single employee error to breach your defenses.
EDR halts these advanced threats in their tracks—protecting your business from catastrophic loss.
More Than Just Smart—Often Mandatory
What many business owners don't realize is that cyber insurance companies are increasingly requiring EDR to validate coverage. Without it, claims could be denied—much like filing a fire insurance claim without having a smoke detector installed.
