Think cyberattacks only target massive corporations? Think again. Small businesses are now the prime targets for cybercriminals because they often present easier entry points and are more likely to pay ransoms.
While a Fortune 500 company might absorb the fallout from a breach, most small businesses simply can't afford the consequences.
IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million. This figure includes lost revenue from downtime, customer attrition, legal expenses, ransom payments, and damage to your brand's reputation.
Frightening, isn't it?
But here's the silver lining: a revolutionary solution is now empowering businesses like yours to detect cyber threats before they inflict harm, transforming how companies defend themselves.
Introducing a Smarter Cyber Defense
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 watching over your systems 24/7.
Unlike traditional antivirus software that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously monitors every action on your devices—each login, file modification, and unusual activity. When it detects suspicious behavior, like ransomware spreading or unauthorized access from unfamiliar locations, EDR immediately intervenes to neutralize the threat.
Why EDR Is Essential Now More Than Ever
Cybercriminal tactics have evolved. They no longer rely on blunt force attacks but use stolen credentials, disguise malware as ordinary files, and exploit the smallest human error.
EDR halts these sophisticated threats in their tracks—protecting your business from devastating attacks.
Not Just Smart—Increasingly Mandatory
Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance providers are now requiring EDR solutions. Without it, your insurance may refuse to cover a breach—much like trying to claim fire damage without a smoke detector.
