Tanium, the provider of unified
endpoint management and security
built for the world’s most demanding IT
environments, has announced Tanium as
a Service, a zero infrastructure endpoint
management and security platform.
Tanium as a Service optimises Tanium’s
patented architecture to quickly and
efficiently manage and secure devices in
a remote work world. The Tanium agent
brings intelligence to each endpoint for
instant visibility and unparalleled context,
enabling IT operations and security
teams to act quickly to efficiently
manage and secure the environment
anywhere endpoints exist.
According to upcoming survey research
from Tanium, businesses are struggling
to manage and secure endpoints spread
across a remote workforce. Even as
cyberattacks increase, frontline defences
like patch management are slipping due
to process and management gaps.
“Most endpoint management solutions
are designed for office environments,
expecting devices to leave the network
for occasional travel or work from home.
In other words, the world the way it was,”
said Ralph Loura, CIO at Lumentum.
“Tanium as a Service is designed for
remote work environments, expecting
some devices to return to the office only
occasionally. In other words, the world the
way it is. This innovation and commitment
to adapting to business needs is why I’m
a three-time Tanium customer.”
Tanium as a Service provides enterprisegrade
visibility and control across
complex distributed environments for
both IT operations and security. With its
cloud-hosted and cloud-delivered model,
built on Amazon Web Services (AWS),
customers can perform important IT
operations, risk and security tasks with
zero infrastructure and zero overhead,
regardless of the number or geographic
location of endpoints, or the amount
of data being collected. AWS’s highly
secure and scalable global infrastructure
helps enable Tanium to securely and
instantly address dynamic peaks in
customer demand.
Tanium is powered by the Intelligent
Edge, a uniquely-Tanium approach
that delivers intelligence to endpoints,
increasing data quality and delivery
speed. This ensures organisations and
government agencies can secure and
manage endpoints everywhere at speed
and scale, without the need to deploy
additional agents or infrastructure.
Businesses are
struggling to
manage and secure
endpoints spread
across a remote
workforce.
• Endpoint Intelligence teaches
devices to provide information
or ask for updates only when a
management issue or security
incident arises. This approach
optimises how data is retrieved
from and delivered to endpoints,
increasing speed and efficiency
and reducing management and
infrastructure overhead associated
with unnecessary data movement.
• Threat Detection and Response
leverages endpoint intelligence
to provide real-time visibility into
and detection of compromise and
post-compromise activity at the
endpoint. Automated response helps
organisations decrease the impact
of malicious cyber activity and
recover quickly.
• Proactive endpoint management
quickly identifies unpatched
desktops and servers on both
modern and legacy operating
systems and provides remediation
for vulnerabilities without
overburdening networks or relying
on expensive infrastructure.
“As enterprises adapt to the work-fromanywhere
world, they deeply need
platforms that allow them to manage
massive, distributed, complex and
changing environments with ease,” said
Orion Hindawi, Co-founder and Co-CEO
of Tanium. “Tanium has always provided
