Tanium is a security and systems management platform that allows real-time data collection at an enterprise scale. It provides enterprise and government organizations with tools to secure, control, and manage millions of endpoints across the enterprise within seconds.

Tanium allows IT operations teams to get access to visibility and accurate information on the state of endpoints at all times to protect against modern-day disruptions and realize new levels of business resilience, with key features include policy enforcement, status tracking, incident management and reporting.

Tanium was founded by David Hindawi and Orion Hindawi in 2007 and is headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, United States.

Tanium lets users manage antivirus, application/firewall control, disk encryption and native security controls from a single dashboard. It enables administrators to consolidate endpoint agents and create policies to block malicious network connections and applications. Additionally, it generates comprehensive reports on disk encryption status and application control incidents.

The platform allows security teams to prevent breaches by restricting application usage through white-listing or blacklisting. It remediates compromised endpoints, enforces desired state, and monitors devices on an ongoing basis. The solution is suitable for companies operating in industries such as financial services, healthcare, retail and education.
