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

August 11, 2025

You don't need to be a large enterprise to fall victim to a devastating cyberattack. In fact, small businesses have become the prime targets for cybercriminals because they often lack robust defenses and are more likely to pay ransoms.

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

IBM's Cost Of A Data Breach Report 2024 reveals that the average data breach costs a staggering $4.88 million. This figure covers downtime, customer loss, legal expenses, ransom payments, and damage to your brand.

Frightening, isn't it?

But there's hope: a revolutionary tool is empowering businesses like yours to detect cyber threats early and prevent damage, transforming cybersecurity.

A Smarter Approach to Cybersecurity

This solution is known as endpoint detection and response (EDR). You don't have to memorize the term—just understand its power.

Think of EDR as a vigilant digital security guard, monitoring your systems 24/7.

Unlike traditional antivirus software that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously analyzes every action on your devices—logins, file changes, unusual behavior. When suspicious activity occurs, such as ransomware spreading or access from unfamiliar locations, EDR immediately intervenes to stop it.

Why EDR Is Crucial Today

Cybercriminals have evolved beyond simple hacks. They use stolen credentials, disguise malware as common files, and exploit a single employee error to infiltrate your systems.

EDR halts these advanced threats before they can cripple your business.

Not Just Smart—Increasingly Essential

Many business owners are unaware that cyber insurance providers now often require EDR for coverage. Without it, your insurance might not protect you after a breach—similar to filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.
