About Tanium

Tanium sells Tanium Atlas, which finds, fixes, and verifies across every endpoint in seconds.

Tanium says Atlas lets users go from question to resolution in seconds by typing what they need answered or done in plain language.[3][4][6]

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.[1][3][5]

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.
