You don't have to be a large enterprise to fall victim to a devastating cyberattack. In fact, small businesses are now the prime targets for cybercriminals. Why? Because they're easier to breach and more likely to pay a ransom.
While a Fortune 500 company might absorb the financial hit of a breach, most small businesses simply can't afford such losses.
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 brand's reputation.
Frightening, isn't it?
But there's hope: a revolutionary tool is empowering businesses like yours to detect cyberattacks before they inflict 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.
Imagine it as a vigilant digital security guard, constantly monitoring your systems.
Unlike traditional antivirus software that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously tracks every action on your devices—every login, file modification, and unusual activity. When it detects suspicious behavior, such as ransomware spreading or unauthorized access from unfamiliar locations, EDR immediately intervenes to neutralize the threat.
Why EDR Is Essential Today
Cybercriminals have evolved beyond old tactics. They now use stolen credentials, mask malware as ordinary files, and exploit a single employee mistake to infiltrate your network.
EDR halts these advanced threats in their tracks—protecting your business from catastrophic damage.
Not Just Smart—Often Mandatory
Many business owners are unaware that cyber insurance providers increasingly require tools like EDR. Without it, your insurance may deny coverage after a breach—similar to filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.
