Think your small business is too small to be targeted by cybercriminals? Think again. Today, small businesses are the prime targets for cyberattacks because they often lack robust defenses and are seen as easier marks—and more likely to pay ransoms.
Unlike large corporations that can absorb the financial blow of a breach, most small businesses face devastating consequences.
IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals that the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million, factoring in downtime, customer loss, legal expenses, ransom payouts, and damage to your brand reputation.
Frightening, isn't it?
But here's the silver lining: a revolutionary tool is empowering businesses like yours to detect cyber threats before they cause harm—transforming cybersecurity as we know it.
Introducing a Smarter Defense
This innovation is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the term—just understand its power.
Imagine it as a vigilant digital security guard, tirelessly monitoring your systems 24/7.
Unlike traditional antivirus software that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously tracks every activity on your devices—every login, file modification, and unusual behavior. When suspicious activity arises, like ransomware attempts or logins from unfamiliar locations, EDR instantly intervenes to neutralize the threat.
Why EDR Is Essential More Than Ever
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 attacks in their tracks—protecting your business from catastrophic damage.
Not Just Smart—Increasingly Mandatory
Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance providers are beginning to require EDR solutions. Without it, your insurance may refuse to cover breach-related losses—much like trying to claim fire damage without having a smoke detector.
