What this move signals
Tanium named Paul Black as Chief Information Security Officer, with a mandate reported to include AI-focused security priorities. Announced in May 2026; day-level precision has not been established from available coverage.
A security vendor's CISO is both defender and reference customer; the explicitly AI-scoped mandate mirrors what GitLab signaled with its June appointment — 2026 CISO briefs increasingly name AI in the job description itself.
