The Average Data Breach Now Costs $4.88 Million – How Much Would It Cost You?

August 11, 2025

Think cyberattacks only target giant corporations? Think again. Today, small businesses are prime targets for hackers because they're easier to breach and more likely to pay ransoms.

Unlike Fortune 500 companies that can absorb breach costs, most small businesses face devastating financial impacts.

IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million, including downtime, lost customers, legal fees, ransom demands, and reputational damage.

Sounds alarming, right?

Here's the silver lining: a powerful new solution helps businesses like yours detect cyber threats early and prevent costly damage, revolutionizing cybersecurity.

Introducing a Smarter Security Solution

Meet endpoint detection and response (EDR) — a cutting-edge security system you don't need to memorize, just understand its impact.

Imagine a vigilant digital guard monitoring your systems around the clock.

Unlike traditional antivirus that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously monitors every activity on your devices — logins, file changes, unusual behavior. When suspicious actions occur, like ransomware spreading or logins from unknown locations, EDR immediately intervenes to stop the threat.

Why EDR Is Essential in Today's Cyber Landscape

Cybercriminals have evolved — they no longer rely on simple hacks. They use stolen credentials, disguise malware as normal files, and exploit a single employee mistake.

EDR halts these advanced threats before they cripple your business.

More Than Just Smart—Often Mandatory

Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance providers increasingly require EDR. Without it, your insurance may deny coverage—like filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.
