Think cyberattacks only target huge corporations? Think again. Small businesses are now the 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, small businesses often 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 clientele, legal fees, ransom payments, and damage to reputation.
Sounds alarming, right?
Here's the silver lining: a revolutionary tool is empowering businesses like yours to detect cyber threats early and stop them before they cause harm, transforming cybersecurity.
Introducing a Smarter Defense
This innovative solution is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the acronym, just understand its power.
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 — every login, file change, and unusual activity. If it detects suspicious behavior, like ransomware spreading or unauthorized access from odd locations, EDR immediately intervenes and neutralizes the threat.
Why EDR Is Essential Today
Cybercriminals have evolved. They no longer rely on simple hacks but exploit stolen credentials, disguise malware as everyday files, and wait for a single employee error to strike.
EDR stops these sophisticated attacks in their tracks, protecting your business from crippling damage.
More Than Just Smart — Often Mandatory
Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance providers increasingly require EDR to qualify for coverage. Without it, your insurance might deny claims, similar to filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.
