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

August 11, 2025

Don't assume that only large corporations face devastating cyberattacks. In reality, small businesses are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals because they often have fewer defenses and are more likely to pay ransoms.

Unlike Fortune 500 companies that might absorb breach costs, most small businesses can't afford such financial hits.

IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals the average data breach costs an astounding $4.88 million, covering downtime, lost clients, legal expenses, ransom demands, and damage to your reputation.

Frightening, isn't it?

Thankfully, a powerful new cybersecurity solution is enabling businesses like yours to detect cyberattacks early and prevent costly damage, revolutionizing protection.

Introducing a Smarter Cyber Defense

This solution is called endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't need to memorize the acronym—just understand its impact.

Imagine a vigilant digital security guard monitoring your systems nonstop.

Unlike traditional antivirus tools that only block known threats, EDR continuously analyzes every action on your work devices—logins, file modifications, unusual behaviors. When it detects suspicious activities like ransomware propagation or logins from unfamiliar locations, EDR immediately intervenes to neutralize the threat.

Why EDR Is Critical Now More Than Ever

Cybercriminals' tactics have evolved—they're smarter, quicker, and stealthier. They don't simply break in anymore; they leverage stolen credentials, disguise malware as innocent files, and exploit single employee mistakes.

EDR halts these advanced threats before they cripple your business.

Beyond Smart—It Might Be Mandatory

Many business owners are unaware that cyber insurance providers increasingly require EDR solutions. Without it, your insurance coverage for breaches could be denied—much like filing a fire claim without a smoke detector installed.
