You don't have to be a large corporation to fall victim to a devastating cyberattack. In fact, small businesses are the primary targets for cybercriminals today. Why? Because they tend to have weaker defenses and are more likely to pay a ransom.
While a Fortune 500 company might absorb the costs of a breach, most small businesses simply can’t afford it.
IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million. This figure includes downtime, lost customers, legal expenses, ransom payments, and damage to your reputation.
Sounds alarming, right?
Here’s the silver lining: a groundbreaking solution is now empowering businesses like yours to detect cyberattacks early and prevent costly damage, transforming cybersecurity as we know it.
A Smarter Approach to Cybersecurity
This innovative technology is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don’t need to memorize the term—just understand its powerful function.
Think of EDR as a vigilant digital security guard, constantly monitoring your systems.
Unlike traditional antivirus software that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously observes every action on your work devices—every login, file change, and unusual activity. If it detects suspicious behavior—like ransomware spreading or unauthorized logins from unfamiliar locations—it immediately intervenes to stop the threat.
Why EDR Is Essential Now More Than Ever
Cybercriminals have evolved beyond old tactics. They’re smarter, faster, and more deceptive. Instead of just breaking in, they use stolen credentials, mask malware as ordinary files, and exploit a single employee mistake.
EDR halts these threats in their tracks—protecting your business before damage occurs.
Not Just Intelligent—Increasingly Mandatory
Many business owners aren’t aware that cyber insurance providers are beginning to require EDR tools. Without them, your insurance coverage might be void if a breach happens. It’s like trying to claim fire damage without a smoke detector installed.
