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

August 11, 2025

Think cyberattacks only target huge 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 that the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million, factoring in downtime, lost customers, legal expenses, ransom payments, and reputational damage.

Sounds alarming, right?

Here's the silver lining: a revolutionary solution is emerging that empowers businesses like yours to detect cyber threats before they cause harm, transforming cybersecurity strategies.

Introducing a Smarter Defense

Meet endpoint detection and response (EDR) — a cutting-edge cybersecurity tool. You don't need to memorize the term; just understand its power.

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

Unlike traditional antivirus software that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously monitors every action on your devices—logins, file changes, unusual activities—and instantly intervenes if it detects suspicious behavior, such as ransomware attempts or unauthorized access from unfamiliar locations.

Why EDR Is Essential Now More Than Ever

Cybercriminals have evolved, using sophisticated tactics like stolen credentials, disguised malware, and exploiting a single employee mistake to infiltrate systems.

EDR halts these 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 now often require EDR tools. Without them, your insurance coverage might be denied—much like trying to claim fire damage without a smoke detector.
