The Power of Tanium Cloud: Providing Visibility, Log4j Remediation for Millions of Devices
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, March 31, 2022 – As organizations around the world gathered their diminishing IT resources to identify and remediate the critical level Log4J vulnerability with CVSS score 10, Tanium Cloud, the only multi-OS endpoint management and security platform that requires zero infrastructure, enabled customers to quickly roll out new capabilities that thwart the exploit in a matter of minutes. Tanium noted a 5X increase in the use of its Reveal solution by cloud customers during this time, giving customers instant visibility into endpoints that were vulnerable to Log4j.
“Legacy management systems are often at the heart of problems for organizations looking to improve their efficiency, increase visibility, and meet global demand,” said Tanium Chief Product Officer Pete Constantine. “Tanium Cloud customers no longer struggle with those restraints. Being infrastructure-free gives them back countless hours of bandwidth, allowing them to allocate headcount elsewhere and solve for today’s most dangerous vulnerabilities in a matter of hours, not days.”
Organizations can leverage the power of Tanium Cloud with no software installation or the need to maintain virtual or physical servers. The Tanium platform and solutions are automatically configured and maintained, leaving IT teams to focus on their efforts on managing endpoints.
“Our company is moving towards a cloud-first approach, and we have requirements to have a holistic view of our endpoint footprint both from an operational and security perspective,” said Zemax Director of IT Eddie Neives. “It became quite evident to us that Tanium Cloud was the only solution to allow us to gain rapid control of our endpoints, with unprecedented visibility and quick deployments. Tanium allowed us to replace inadequate point solutions across our operations and security stacks, and enabled process efficiencies, enhanced visibility, control, and security at scale.”
Tanium Cloud delivers the full power of Tanium’s endpoint management and security platform, managed and delivered from the cloud. Regardless of size, organizations can spin up an instance in just hours with critical IT operations, risk, and security solutions.
“When rapidly changing technology converges with redefining where work happens, it’s more important than ever for organizations to be able to react and respond quickly,” said Michael Suby, Research Vice President, Security and Trust at IDC. “Tanium is one such cloud-based platform that is specifically designed to quickly address the root causes of IT and Security challenges while unifying those teams through its single pane of glass.”
Tanium Cloud gives organizations the ability to deploy new operations and security capabilities out of the box, from thousands of endpoints to scaling beyond a million. This new paradigm of supporting large, distributed workforces can lead to an estimated $1 million or more in total savings over three years for the migration of a typical seven-server, on-premises installation.
“Tanium is quickly becoming our most indispensable tool for operations,” said Jerry Delgado, IT director of infrastructure and security at United Automobile Insurance Company. “We get answers to questions in real-time that without Tanium would have us scrambling to figure out. The ability to gather information and expose and remediate vulnerabilities including Log4j quickly has been invaluable. It’s given us confidence that our organization is secure.”
