You don’t have to be a Fortune 500 company to suffer a devastating cyberattack. In fact, small businesses are now the #1 target for cybercriminals—not because of their size, but because they’re easier to infiltrate and more likely to pay a ransom.

And the cost? It’s nothing short of staggering.

According to the IBM Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024, the average cost of a data breach is $4.88 million. That figure includes:

  • Downtime

  • Legal fees

  • Ransom payments

  • Lost clients

  • Reputation damage

Could your business absorb that kind of loss?

Why Small Businesses Are Vulnerable

Cybercriminals know small businesses often lack enterprise-level cybersecurity. Weak or reused passwords, outdated software, and limited IT oversight make it easier for attackers to slip in unnoticed.

And unlike big corporations, most small businesses can’t afford a major disruption—let alone legal trouble or ransom negotiations.

Enter EDR: The Smarter Security Tool

The good news? You don’t have to face modern threats with outdated tools.

Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) is a powerful security solution that goes beyond traditional antivirus. It actively monitors your systems, analyzing user behavior, file changes, and login activity. When something suspicious happens, it shuts it down—before it can spread.

Think of EDR as your digital security guard: always on duty, always watching.

Unlike standard antivirus software that only catches known threats, EDR identifies and stops zero-day attacks, stolen login attempts, and ransomware activity in real time.

Why This Matters More Than Ever

Today’s hackers don’t just break in—they log in. They disguise malware as normal files. They use phishing to trick employees into handing over credentials. And they wait for one slip-up to exploit.

EDR catches the threats that others miss.

Cyber Insurance Is Raising The Bar

Did you know many cyber insurance providers now require advanced tools like EDR for coverage eligibility?

That’s right—if you suffer a breach without proper protections in place, your claim could be denied. It’s like trying to file a fire insurance claim without a smoke detector installed.
