EDR

End Point Detection and Response (EDR)

Security used to be a lot simpler; the biggest threats were phishing attacks, worms, trojan horses, DDoS attacks and out-of-date software, it was much easier to avoid cyber-attacks than it is now.

New threats bypass traditional antivirus solutions, making them “silent killers.” These include spear phishing, zero-day attacks, file-less threats, ransomware and software and data changes, it has become scary and important, and the largest percentage of attacks are on small businesses.

Most small business owners don’t believe they are at risk, but contrary to this is the fact that small businesses are less protected. Think about the data you hold.

61% of SMBs faced a cyberattack of one severity or another last year

Why?
They are typically less-sophisticated (= less protected) when it comes to cyber-security

They are often targeted because they are providers to larger companies.

Most companies take an average of191 days to detect a breach. Can you afford to be down for hours? days? or weeks?

SMB cleanup costs are high!
