Small Businesses Are the #1 Target for Cyberattacks. Are You Ready?
You don't have to be a Fortune 500 company to be hit by a cyberattack.
In fact, small businesses are now the most common targets.
Why? Because attackers know smaller organizations often have fewer protections in place, and they know many will pay quickly to get back online.
The scary truth is that while large corporations might absorb the cost of a breach, most small businesses can't.
According to IBM's Cost of a Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024, the average cost of a single breach is $4.88 million.
That figure includes downtime, lost customers, legal expenses, ransom payments, and the long‑term damage to your reputation.
The Good News: A Smarter Line of Defense
There's a new tool that's helping small businesses stop attacks before they can do damage: Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).
Think of EDR as a 24/7 security guard for your computers and servers.
Traditional antivirus software can only block threats it already recognizes. EDR goes further by constantly monitoring every login, file change, and system event. The moment it spots suspicious activity like ransomware spreading across a network or someone logging in from an unusual location, it shuts the threat down in real time.
Why EDR Matters More Than Ever
Attackers have evolved. They no longer just try to "break in." Instead, they:
-
Log in with stolen credentials
-
Hide malicious files in everyday documents
-
Wait for a single employee slip‑up to gain access
EDR stops these advanced tactics in their tracks before they can take your business offline.
EDR Isn't Just Smart, It's Becoming Mandatory
Here's something many business owners don't realize:
More and more cyber insurance providers are now requiring EDR as part of your security stack. Without it, a future claim might be denied just like trying to file a fire claim without a smoke detector in place.
