Small L.A. Businesses Are The #1 Target For Cybercriminals – Here’s How To Fight Back

You don’t have to be a Fortune 500 giant to suffer a headline-making breach. In fact, right here in Los Angeles, small and mid-sized companies are cyber-crooks’ favorite prey because they’re easier to compromise – and more likely to pay a ransom.

According to IBM’s 2024 Cost Of A Data Breach Report, the worldwide average impact of a breach is $4.88 million. That number rolls together downtime, lost clients, legal fees, ransom payments and the long-term hit to your reputation. Most local businesses simply couldn’t survive it.

A Smarter Security Guard For Every Device

At CMIT Cyber Solutions LA, we stop those losses before they start with Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) – the 24/7 “digital security guard” that:

  • Watches every login, file change and process on your PCs and servers.
  • Detects ransomware or stolen-credential logins in real time.
  • Isolates and shuts down suspicious activity automatically so it can’t spread.

Traditional antivirus only blocks known threats; EDR blocks what nobody’s seen yet.

Why “Good Enough” Isn’t Good Enough Any More

Hackers rarely “break in” today – they log in using phished usernames and passwords, hide malware in normal-looking files and wait for a tired employee to click the wrong link. EDR sees that unusual behavior the instant it starts and slams the door shut.

Bonus: Many cyber-insurance carriers now require EDR. No EDR, no payout – like filing a fire claim without smoke detectors installed.
