Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be a large corporation to face a devastating cyberattack. Today, small businesses are the prime targets for hackers because they often have weaker defenses and are more likely to pay ransoms.
While a Fortune 500 company might weather the financial storm of a cyber breach, most small businesses simply can't absorb those losses.
According to IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024, a typical data breach can cost a staggering $4.88 million. This figure includes downtime, lost clients, legal expenses, ransom payments, and damage to your brand's reputation.
Intimidating, isn't it?
But there's hope. A groundbreaking solution is empowering businesses like yours to detect cyberattacks before they can cause harm, revolutionizing how we protect digital assets.
A Smarter, Proactive Defense
This cutting-edge technology is known as endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the name, but you should understand its powerful capabilities.
Think of EDR as a vigilant digital guardian constantly monitoring your devices.
Unlike traditional antivirus systems that only recognize known threats, EDR continuously watches every activity on your workstations — every login, file alteration, and unusual behavior. When it detects suspicious activity, such as ransomware propagation or unusual login locations, EDR immediately intervenes to neutralize the threat.
Why EDR is Crucial in Today's Cyber Landscape
Cybercriminals have evolved. They don't rely on simple break-ins anymore. Instead, they use stolen credentials, cloak malware as regular files, and wait for the smallest error from your staff to launch attacks.
EDR puts a stop to these threats instantly — protecting your business from potential ruin.
More Than Just Smart — A Must-Have
Here's an eye-opener: many cyber insurance policies now require businesses to implement tools like EDR. Without it, your insurance may refuse to cover breach damages. It's like trying to claim a fire loss without a smoke detector.
