Let’s be real: most small and midsize businesses wouldn’t survive a seven-figure cyberattack. 
But cybercriminals aren’t just going after the big guys anymore. They’re going after you—the healthcare clinic, the law office, the manufacturer with 40 employees and an aging server.
Why? Because you’re easier to compromise. And more likely to pay to get your data back.
According to IBM’s latest “Cost of a Data Breach” report, the average hit is $4.88 million. That includes everything from downtime and customer loss to legal fees and damaged trust. And while the big guys might have a legal team and crisis PR on speed dial, most SMBs… don’t.
But here’s the silver lining: there’s a way to spot these threats early—before they spiral into disaster.
Meet EDR: Your Digital First Responder
You don’t need to memorize the acronym (though it stands for Endpoint Detection and Response). Just know this:
EDR acts like a full-time security guard for every laptop, workstation, and server in your business. Unlike traditional antivirus that only stops known threats, EDR watches for unusual behavior—like a user logging in from overseas at 3 a.m. or a file rapidly encrypting across your network.
When it detects something shady, it doesn’t wait. It isolates the threat, stops it cold, and keeps the rest of your business running.
Why It’s Critical Now
The tactics have changed. Today’s hackers don’t kick down the door—they quietly slip in with stolen credentials, disguised files, or one tired employee who clicks the wrong link. The old defenses just aren’t cutting it anymore.
EDR is designed for this modern threat landscape. It’s fast, intelligent, and proactive.
And here’s something you should know: many cyber insurance providers now require EDR as part of your coverage. Without it, you could be left footing the bill alone if a breach happens.
You Can’t Afford to Guess
If you’re not sure whether your business is covered—or if your antivirus is enough—it’s time to find out.
We’ll help you assess your cybersecurity setup with zero pressure and no tech overwhelm. Just a clear, honest look at where you’re protected… and where you’re not.
