You don’t have to be a big corporation to suffer a major cyberattack. In fact, small businesses are now the most common targets for cybercriminals. Why? Because they’re easier to get into – and more likely to pay up.
And while a Fortune 500 company might be able to eat the cost of a breach, most small businesses can’t.
According to IBM’s Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024, the average cost of a data breach is $4.88 million. That includes downtime, lost customers, legal fees, ransom payments and the hit to your reputation.
Scary, right?
But here’s the good news: There’s a new tool that’s helping businesses like yours catch cyberattacks before they do damage, and it’s changing the game.
This tool is called endpoint detection and response (or EDR, for short). You don’t need to remember the name – you just need to know what it does.
Think of it like a digital security guard that’s always on duty.
While traditional antivirus software only blocks known threats, EDR watches everything happening on your work computers – every login, every file change, every strange behavior. If something suspicious starts happening (like ransomware trying to spread or someone logging in from a strange location), EDR steps in and shuts it down.
Cybercriminals aren’t using the same old tricks anymore. They’re getting smarter, faster and sneakier. They don’t just try to break in. Now they log in using stolen credentials. They disguise malware as everyday files. They wait for just one mistake from an employee, and that’s all it takes.
EDR stops those threats cold – before they take down your business.
If you’re not sure, let’s talk. We’ll walk you through what you need (and what you don’t) and help you make sure your business isn’t an easy target.
Better safe than sorry – especially when “sorry” could cost you everything.
