Don't think only large corporations face cyberattacks. In reality, small businesses are the prime targets for cybercriminals today. Why? Because they're easier to breach and more likely to pay ransoms.
While a Fortune 500 company might absorb the costs of a data breach, most small businesses simply can't afford the fallout.
IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals that 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, doesn't it?
Here's the silver lining: a revolutionary tool is now empowering businesses like yours to detect cyberattacks before they cause harm, transforming cybersecurity as we know it.
An Intelligent Defense Against Cyber Threats
This innovation is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the term—you just need to 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 change, and unusual behavior. When it detects suspicious actions, such as ransomware spreading or logins from unfamiliar locations, EDR immediately intervenes to stop the attack.
Why EDR Is Essential in Today's Cyber Landscape
Cybercriminals have evolved beyond old tactics. They use stolen credentials, mask malware as everyday files, and exploit a single employee mistake to infiltrate businesses.
EDR halts these advanced threats in their tracks—protecting your business from devastating breaches.
More Than Just Smart—Often Mandatory
Many business owners don't realize this: cyber insurance providers are increasingly requiring EDR tools. Without EDR, your insurance may not cover a breach—like filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.
