What the company sells

Tanium sells Tanium Atlas, which finds, fixes, and verifies across every endpoint in seconds. Tanium says teams and AI agents act on the same real-time data, with guardrails and sign-off on every action. Tanium says Atlas lets users go from question to resolution in seconds by typing what they need answered or done in plain language.

Atlas manages endpoints, reduces exposure, and stops threats without switching tools or handing off work. Atlas plans and executes multi-step autonomous workflows, with every action governed and fully auditable. Tanium says background agents continuously monitor the environment and surface issues before users have to ask. Tanium describes visibility, patching, compliance, and threat response as all on one platform and all operated through Atlas. Tanium says teams can know every endpoint and keep every device patched and compliant with machine-speed deployment.

Tanium Asset gives IT operations and asset management teams real-time data about their IT assets, regardless of location. Tanium Asset feeds real-time data into common CMDBs, such as ServiceNow. Tanium says teams can know and maintain their IT asset and SBOM inventory in real-time. Tanium also says teams can understand the status of their devices within seconds and run configurable reports. Tanium says that when a software supply chain vulnerability is reported, teams are equipped with data to answer leadership and mitigate the risk. Tanium HuntIQ is designed to help security teams proactively hunt for sophisticated threats, optimize their security platform, and continuously improve their security posture.

Tanium has native connectors to ServiceNow, Microsoft, Splunk, and more. The Tanium Atlas MCP Server brings governed, real-time endpoint data into Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot Studio. Tanium says the AI answers from live data and acts only within the user's guardrails. Tanium ITX for ServiceNow unifies IT Service Management, IT Asset Management, and IT Operations Management. Tanium Security Operations for ServiceNow unifies IT, security, and risk teams in ServiceNow. Tanium IRM for ServiceNow integrates real-time data and automation to enhance compliance management and streamline risk assessments. Tanium offers automated patching of endpoints associated with change records based on vulnerability and compliance risk. Tanium Ask allows teams to select self-service capabilities.

NEC launched its endpoint management program in 2002 and did not encounter Tanium until 2019. NEC chose Tanium Cloud and installed the agent on over 200,000 endpoints in just four months. For NEC, investigating endpoint applications for specific vulnerabilities used to take more than 24 hours and now completes in five minutes with Tanium. NEC has connected Tanium with ServiceNow to link critical asset and vulnerability information. ServiceNow is using Tanium Autonomous IT to achieve real-time endpoint visibility across 30,000 endpoints and deliver a zero touch service desk at speed and scale. UKG is transforming IT operations with Tanium Autonomous IT for ServiceNow.

CEC Entertainment is a family entertainment and dining company that needed to modernize its IT infrastructure. Tanium provides low-touch, high-confidence, and autonomous patching and provisioning. A Spanish insurer improves endpoint visibility and control with a solution provided jointly by EY and Tanium. Caser uses the Managed Visibility and Control service co-provided by EY and Tanium. A digital healthcare solutions provider in emerging markets across Asia and Africa had no visibility into its 2,500 laptops in 12 countries. Colgate-Palmolive uses Tanium Core and Asset Discovery & Inventory. An addiction treatment provider found its endpoint devices too hard to manage, provision, or secure.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]
