Think cyberattacks only target large 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.
According to IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024, the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million. This figure includes downtime, lost customers, legal expenses, ransom payments, and damage to your brand reputation.
Sounds alarming, right?
Here’s the silver lining: a revolutionary tool is empowering businesses like yours to detect cyber threats before they cause harm, transforming cybersecurity strategies.
Introducing a Smarter Defense
This innovation is known as endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don’t need to memorize the term—just understand its powerful capabilities.
Think of EDR as a vigilant digital security guard, constantly monitoring your systems.
Unlike traditional antivirus that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously tracks all activity on your devices—every login, file change, and unusual behavior. If it detects suspicious actions like ransomware spreading or logins from unfamiliar locations, EDR immediately intervenes to neutralize the threat.
Why EDR Is Essential Today More Than Ever
Cybercriminals have evolved, using sophisticated tactics beyond basic hacking. They exploit stolen credentials, camouflage malware as everyday files, and wait for a single employee mistake to strike.
EDR stops these advanced threats in their tracks—safeguarding your business from catastrophic damage.
Not Just Smart—Often Mandatory
Many business owners don’t realize that cyber insurance providers are now requiring tools like EDR. Without it, your insurance coverage might be void in the event of a breach. It's like trying to claim fire insurance without a smoke detector.
