How Tanium Gives You the Visibility You Need to Thwart Cyber Attacks

The adage “You cannot protect what you cannot see” highlights the paramount importance of visibility in cyber defence.

Let’s consider the Essential Eight, the suite of mitigation strategies designed to significantly reduce an organisation’s attack surface. However, one glaring problem persists –  not only is it crucial to apply these strategies, but we also face the stark absence of visibility into our sprawling network of devices, many of which remain unknown and unmanaged.

Introducing Tanium: Comprehensive Control for Cyber Defense.

Tanium offers capabilities that cover all bases in the realm of cyber defence. From enforcing AppLocker policy across the enterprise and providing real-time insights into application assets, to overseeing the Office Macro policy and supporting common browser configurations. Tanium empowers organisations with comprehensive control. With Tanium, cyber defence becomes less about frantic firefighting and more about strategic management.
 
Unleashing the True Value of Tanium: Administrative Privileges and Local Accounts
One of the most significant strengths of Tanium lies in its grasp over administrative privileges. The software offers a graphical representation of access rights, exposing the potential collateral damage if those credentials are compromised. But it doesn’t stop there. Tanium also monitors local accounts, which are often overlooked in central management systems, yet they play a critical role in Essential Eight controls.
 
Streamlining Patching and Enhancing Vulnerability Response With Tanium
The task of patching systems in disparate environments is streamlined by Tanium Patch. This powerful tool offers visibility into the patching state of the entire endpoint fleet, regardless of location. Additionally, Tanium’s unique capability to apply vendor mitigations when patches are unavailable presents an exceptional opportunity for IT teams to take action during those crucial initial hours of vulnerability.
 
Augmenting Endpoint Configurations and Ensuring Critical Data Protection
Although Tanium doesn’t directly provide multi-factor authentication capability or backup services, it plays a vital role in monitoring and controlling endpoint configurations. This ensures that backup clients are operational on required endpoints, guaranteeing the inclusion of critical data in routing backup jobs.
 
Regain Control With Tanium and Revolutionise Your Cyber Defence Strategy
With Tanium, organisations can reclaim control over their cyber defence. It is time to transition from reactive whack-a-mole tactics to a proactive, strategy-based approach. Tanium makes the impossible possible and offers a new frontier in cyber defence strategy. Click here to unlock the full potential of Tanium and revolutionise your cybersecurity practices.
