# Secure Your Expanding Attack Surface: Endpoint Security for IT Operations Teams ![ManageEngine](https://www.manageengine.com/ems/images/logo/ec-logo-white.svg) **Webinar** **August 13, 2026** **6:00 AM GMT | 11:00 AM EDT** ## Presenter ![akshaya-r](https://cdn.manageengine.com/sites/meweb/images/desktop-central/images/akshaya-employee-dp.png) **Akshaya R** Senior Product Expert, ManageEngine. ## About this webinar ### USD 4.44 million **The average cost of a data breach in 2025.** Cyberattacks aren't just becoming more frequent; they're becoming faster, more sophisticated, and increasingly difficult to stop. Frontier AI models such as Claude Fable and Claude Mythos are accelerating vulnerability discovery, while attackers are increasingly using AI to identify and exploit security weaknesses at unprecedented speed. According to the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, **31% of confirmed breaches begin with the exploitation of unpatched vulnerabilities**, making vulnerability exploitation the **leading initial access vector** for cyberattacks. ## Why should you care? Monitoring provides critical visibility into the health and performance of your IT environment, helping you identify issues before they impact business operations. But **visibility is only one layer of cyber resilience.** Every unpatched endpoint, outdated application, missing security update, or security misconfiguration expands your attack surface, giving attackers the opportunity to establish a foothold, move laterally, deploy ransomware, or access sensitive data. As organizations continue to adopt hybrid work, cloud applications, and AI-powered tools, **the attack surface continues to grow**. **Monitoring tells you what's happening. Security determines what happens next.** ## Here's how we help In this webinar, we'll explore the endpoint security challenges faced by modern IT teams and demonstrate how Endpoint Central helps overcome them. Through practical strategies, real-world use cases, AI-powered capabilities, and a live product demonstration, you'll discover how Endpoint Central adds a proactive security layer to your monitoring strategy, helping you close security gaps, reduce cyber risk, and simplify endpoint management without adding operational complexity. ## What's in it for you? By the end of this webinar, you'll know how to: - **Reduce your attack surface** with automated patch management and vulnerability remediation. - **Accelerate patch deployment** across operating systems and third-party applications. - **Strengthen endpoint security** with endpoint hardening and built-in security controls. - **Automate routine endpoint management** to improve IT productivity and reduce manual effort. - **Extend your monitoring strategy** with proactive endpoint management that helps prevent incidents before they occur. - **Adopt practical best practices** to build a more resilient and secure IT environment. ## Meet your presenter ![Akshaya R](https://cdn.manageengine.com/sites/meweb/images/desktop-central/images/akshaya-employee-dp.png) **Senior Product Expert at ManageEngine** ### Akshaya R Akshaya is a Senior Product Expert at ManageEngine, where she helps organizations strengthen endpoint security and modernize endpoint management.
