Elevated Security, Minimal Effort

With the rise of cyber attacks targeting businesses of all sizes, companies are becoming more aware of the importance of securing their networks and systems.

Hybrid work environments are quickly becoming the norm, meaning the shear number of endpoints makes it near impossible for small to medium-sized businesses to track the security of each device in their organization. Recent studies are showing that 4 out of 5 businesses have a cyber security plan in place that accommodates the hybrid work transition. If you are a part of the 20% that don't have a plan- it's not too late!

Traditional perimeter security solutions such as firewalls and antivirus software are no longer enough to protect your organization. That's why we recommend the use of endpoint detection and response (EDR) software. EDR solutions provide real-time monitoring and analysis of endpoint activity, enabling the detection of sophisticated and targeted attacks that may evade traditional security measures. By taking proactive steps to detect and respond to threats at the endpoint level, you can minimize the risk of cyber attacks and ensure the ongoing success of your organization.

 

New call-to-action

 

Benefits of EDR:

  • Early Detection and Prevention of Cyber Attacks
    EDR software can detect and prevent cyberattacks before they happen. This not only reduces the risk of data breaches and financial loss but also improves customer trust and confidence.

  • Automation of Security Management
    EDR software automates the process of identifying and responding to cyber threats, freeing up time and resources for small businesses. This allows small businesses to focus on their core operations while still ensuring their cybersecurity is up to date.
     
  • Improved Incident Response Time
    With automated detection and response, small businesses can quickly contain and mitigate cyber threats, minimizing the impact on their operations. This can also help small businesses avoid costly downtime and loss of productivity.

Downfall of Not Investing in EDR:

  • Financial Loss
    The cost of recovering from a data breach or cyberattack can be significant. Medium-sized businesses are losing $184k per cyber security incident.
     
  • Loss of Customer Trust and Reputation
    A data breach or cyberattack can damage a small business's reputation and lead to a loss of customer trust. According to a survey by Kaspersky, 27% of small businesses reported that a security breach led to a loss of customer trust.
     
  • Legal and Regulatory Consequences
    Many states have data breach notification laws that require businesses to notify customers in the event of a breach. Additionally, industries such as healthcare and finance are subject to specific regulations regarding data protection and cybersecurity.

Why Managed EDR?

Managing EDR solutions can be challenging for businesses, especially for those without dedicated IT security teams. Here's how MSPs make things easier and more effective:

  1. Expertise
    They have trained and certified professionals who can handle all aspects of EDR, from deployment and configuration to monitoring and response.
  2. 24/7 Monitoring
    MSPs can monitor your endpoints 24/7, ensuring that any potential threats are detected and addressed immediately.
  3. Cost-effectiveness
    MSPs can provide EDR services at a fraction of the cost of hiring and training a dedicated security team.
  4. Scalability
    As your business expands, your EDR requirements may change, and MSPs can adjust their services to meet your evolving needs.
  5. Improved Compliance
    By ensuring that your EDR solutions are up-to-date and effective, MSPs can help you avoid fines and penalties associated with non-compliance.
