Think cyberattacks only target large corporations? Think again. Small businesses are increasingly in the crosshairs of cybercriminals because they often have weaker defenses and are more likely to pay ransoms.
Unlike massive companies that can absorb breach costs, most small businesses face devastating financial impacts.
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.
Frightening, isn't it?
Here's the silver lining: a revolutionary tool is empowering businesses like yours to detect cyber threats before they wreak havoc, transforming cybersecurity strategies.
Introducing a Smarter Defense
This game-changing technology is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the name—just understand its role.
Imagine a vigilant digital security guard monitoring your systems 24/7.
Unlike traditional antivirus that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously monitors every action on your devices—logins, file changes, unusual activities. When it detects suspicious behavior, like ransomware spreading or logins from unfamiliar locations, it immediately intervenes to stop the attack.
Why EDR Is Essential Today
Cybercriminals have evolved beyond old tactics. They now use stolen credentials, disguise malware in everyday files, and exploit a single employee mistake to infiltrate systems.
EDR halts these advanced threats in their tracks—protecting your business before damage occurs.
More Than Just Smart—Often Mandatory
Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance providers increasingly require EDR tools. Without EDR, your insurance may refuse coverage after a breach—like filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.
