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

August 11, 2025

Think cyberattacks only target large corporations? Think again. Small businesses are now the prime targets for cybercriminals because they often have weaker defenses and are 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, factoring in downtime, lost clients, legal expenses, ransom demands, and damage to your brand reputation.

Alarming, right?

Here's the silver lining: a revolutionary tool is now empowering businesses like yours to detect and stop cyberattacks before they wreak havoc, transforming cybersecurity strategies.

Introducing a Smarter Defense

Meet endpoint detection and response (EDR) — a cutting-edge security solution you don't need to memorize, but must understand.

Imagine it as a vigilant digital security guard, monitoring your systems 24/7.

Unlike traditional antivirus software that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously observes every action on your devices — from logins to file changes to unusual activities. When it detects suspicious behavior, like ransomware spreading or unauthorized access from unfamiliar locations, EDR immediately intervenes to neutralize the threat.

Why This Matters More Than Ever

Cybercriminals have evolved beyond basic hacking. They now use stolen credentials, camouflage malware as everyday files, and exploit a single employee error to infiltrate your systems.

EDR halts these advanced threats in their tracks — protecting your business from catastrophic damage.

Not Just Smart — Often Mandatory

Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance providers are increasingly requiring EDR to approve coverage. Without it, your insurance may not cover breach-related losses — much like a fire claim denied without a smoke detector.
