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. Small businesses have become 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. This amount covers downtime, lost customers, legal fees, 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 costly damage, transforming cybersecurity.

The Future of Cyber Defense

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

Picture it as a vigilant digital security guard, constantly monitoring your systems.

Unlike traditional antivirus that only blocks known threats, EDR continuously observes every action on your devices—logins, file changes, unusual behavior. If it detects anything suspicious, like ransomware spreading or logins from unfamiliar locations, it immediately intervenes to stop the attack.

Why EDR is Essential Today

Cybercriminals have evolved. They no longer rely on simple hacks. Instead, they use stolen credentials, disguise malware as everyday files, and exploit a single employee mistake.

EDR halts these sophisticated threats in their tracks—protecting your business before harm occurs.

More Than Just Smart—Often Mandatory

Many business owners don't realize that cyber insurance providers increasingly require EDR. Without it, your insurance may refuse to cover breaches—like filing a fire claim without a smoke detector.

Is Your Business Truly Secure?

If you're unsure, let's connect. We'll help you identify what protection you need and ensure your business isn't an easy target.

It's better to be proactive than to pay the price later—especially when that price could be everything.

Wondering if your business could survive a $4.88 million cyberattack? Don't wait to find out the hard way. Click here or give us a call at 866-523-2985 to schedule a free 15-Minute Discovery Call with our team today. We'll review your cybersecurity setup and pinpoint vulnerabilities—in plain language, with no technical jargon.
