You don’t need to be a Fortune 500 company to land in a cybercriminal’s crosshairs.
In fact, small and mid-sized businesses are now the #1 targets – not because they’re more valuable, but because they’re easier to break into… and more likely to pay.
And here’s the brutal truth: While a big corporation can absorb a multimillion-dollar hit, most SMBs in the Dallas/Fort Worth area would never recover.
According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, the average breach now costs $4.88 million.
That’s not just the ransom. It’s downtime, lost customers, legal bills, compliance penalties, and the long-term brand damage that no insurance policy can fully fix.
The Cybersecurity Game-Changer: EDR
The good news? You don’t have to sit back and hope you’re lucky.
There’s a tool that’s stopping cyberattacks before they cause chaos – and it’s quickly becoming the new standard: Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR).
Think of EDR like a 24/7 digital security guard for every workstation and server in your business.
- Traditional antivirus: Blocks only known threats.
- EDR: Monitors everything – every login, every file change, every unusual pattern.
If something suspicious happens – like ransomware spreading or a login from Moscow at 3 a.m. – EDR isolates the threat instantly before it can take down your network.
Why You Can’t Afford to Wait
Cybercriminals aren’t kicking in the front door anymore – they’re logging in with stolen passwords. They hide malware inside legitimate files. They wait months for one employee to make a single mistake.
EDR is built for this new reality – detecting, containing, and killing attacks before they turn into a $4.88M headline.
Insurance May Now Require It
Here’s a detail many business owners miss: Cyber insurance carriers are starting to require EDR.
Without it, your claim could be denied – just like trying to collect fire insurance without a smoke detector.
