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. Today, small businesses face the highest risk because cybercriminals find them easier to breach and more likely to pay ransoms.

Unlike Fortune 500 companies that can absorb breach costs, most small businesses cannot afford such losses.

IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million—covering downtime, lost customers, legal expenses, ransom payouts, and damage to your brand.

Frightening, right?

But there's hope: a revolutionary tool is empowering businesses like yours to detect cyber threats early and stop them before harm occurs—transforming cybersecurity as we know it.

A Next-Level Defense Against Cybercrime

This innovation is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the term—just understand its power.

Imagine a vigilant digital security guard monitoring every activity on your business devices—every login, file change, and unusual action.

Unlike traditional antivirus that blocks known threats, EDR continuously analyzes behavior to catch suspicious activity—like ransomware spreading or logins from unexpected locations—and immediately neutralizes it.

Why EDR Is Essential Today

Cybercriminals have evolved. They no longer rely on basic hacks; instead, they use stolen credentials, disguise malware as normal files, and exploit a single employee error to infiltrate your systems.

EDR halts these advanced threats in their tracks, protecting your business from devastating attacks.

More Than Just Smart—It's Becoming Mandatory

Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance providers now often require EDR to validate coverage. Without it, your insurance might deny claims—like trying to claim fire damage without a smoke detector.
