Think cyberattacks only target big corporations? Think again. Small businesses are now 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 consequences.
IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million, factoring in downtime, lost customers, legal fees, ransom payments, and damage to your brand.
It sounds alarming — and it is.
But there’s hope: a revolutionary tool is empowering businesses like yours to detect cyberattacks early and stop them before they cause harm, transforming cybersecurity.
Introducing a Smarter Cyber Defense
This solution is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don’t need to memorize the term — just understand its power.
Imagine a vigilant digital security guard monitoring your systems 24/7.
Unlike traditional antivirus software that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously monitors every activity on your devices — every login, file modification, and unusual behavior. When suspicious activity arises, such as ransomware spreading or logins from unfamiliar locations, EDR instantly intervenes to neutralize the threat.
Why EDR Is Essential Today More Than Ever
Cybercriminals have evolved. They no longer rely on simple hacks; instead, they use stolen credentials, disguise malware as everyday files, and exploit a single employee mistake to infiltrate your network.
EDR halts these advanced threats in their tracks — protecting your business before damage occurs.
Not Just Smart — Often Required
Many business owners don’t realize that cyber insurance providers are increasingly mandating EDR solutions. Without it, your insurance may refuse to cover breach-related losses — much like filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.
