Can also self-heal as endpoints go offline. โโ Tanium Interact. Answer: the heart of the Tanium Platform and a critical part of most workflows. gives you instantaneous endpoint visibility and control to make better decisions and take faster actions โโ Tanium Reporting. Answer: allows quick and easy access to both real-time data and data collected over time, helping you to gain insight and spot trends โโ Tanium Connect. Answer: helps enrich third-party security and management tools with accurate and complete endpoint data. with this you can automate connections through either scheduled intervals or event-driven triggers
โโ Tanium Direct Connect. Answer: Retrieve log files, sensitive data, or real-time performance data. allows the creation of a secured communication channel directly between the Tanium service and a specific endpoint. โโ Tanium Satellite. Answer: allows you to designate specific endpoints to run targeted, secure workloads on behalf of the Tanium Platform or other solutions โโ Tanium Endpoint Configuration. Answer: ensures all endpoints are using the most up-to-date Tanium software and rapidly deploys mew configurations. including a change management feature. โโ Key Features of Tanium Endpoint Config. Answer: Allows for manual and automatic promotion of tools through the rings Ability to pause the promotion process if issues are encountered Deferral ring allows sensitive endpoints to be more tightly controlled โโ Tanium Client Management. Answer: Allows for the deployment, configuration, and management of the Tanium Client installed on endpoints, monitor client health across
โโ Tanium Index. Answer: Can scan and index every file on your endpoints' fixed drives and keep the index updated either periodically or in real time if pair with Tanium Recorder. โโ Tanium Reputation. Answer: provides information on files and processes known to be safe, suspicious, or malicious. leverages a file's cryptographic hash to determine its reputation status. its data can be entered manually or sourced from third parties, such as Recorded Future or Virus Total โโ Tanium Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). Answer: creates an inventory of libraries, the file containing the library, and the version of the library. is also available to other modules to enhance their data and workflows โโ Tanium Criticality. Answer: service enables admins to assign criticality levels to an endpoint, user, or group based on multiple criteria. the criticality rating is used in other modules and Tanium Reporting to provide additional context about an endpoint โโ Tanium End-user Notificaiton.
Answer: provides users with informative on-screen notifications with informative on-screen notifications, issuing surveys, and self-service install options. this framework has multi-language support, allowing you to present your users with notifications in their preferred language โโ Tanium Directory Query. Answer: allows administrators to configure access to directory servers for Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID Domain Services. โโ Asset. Answer: Allows you to scan the environment for a real-time hardware and software invwentory-- including usage reporting to help save money and mitigate risks โโ Sources. Answer: Enrich asset inventory data with information from external databases โโ Software Inventory & Usage (SIU). Answer: View product summaries and relevant data points to determine next steps with license revoking or identify unapproved software โโ SBOM integration with Asset.
Answer: provides an easy-to-read, high level view of important risk factors across a variety of dashboard categories. โโ Metric Health Page. Answer: allows you to quickly see supported endpoints that are not sending metric data as expected โโ Tanium Enforce. Answer: to apply policies to harden your environment, configure endpoints, and prevent unwanted activity โโ Certificate Manager. Answer: used to gain complete visibility into the digital certificates across your Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints โโ Investigate. Answer: used to drive incidents to resolution by surfacing root causes quickly and fostering collaboration โโ Policies. Answer: manage specific technology locally on an endpoint and contain rules specific to their security controls โโ Applied (policy).
Answer: the policy has been applied to the endpoint and the settings on the endpoint have been verified โโ Partially Applied (policy). Answer: there is currently a lower-priority policy enforced โโ Not applied (policy). Answer: the policy could not be enforced successfully (clicking the interact button displays the cause of the enforcement error) โโ Unsupported (policy). Answer: this policy is being applied to an endpoint or OS that does not support the policy settings โโ Error. Answer: All known and unknown errors โโ Device Action (Remediation Policy). Answer: identifies a task (or multiple tasks) that runs on Windows, MacOS, or Linux endpoints. โโ Configuration Policy.
