Tanium Primary Use Case

SCCM at Itcinfotech
We use Tanium to deploy applications and for third parties, like Google Chrome which is already in-built in Tanium. We have deployed some packages which we are already using through SCCM, and those packages are what we are using in Tanium to attach those files and make a command line. Installation, uninstallation part, and detection methods are the things that we are using in Tanium.
We use the tool as an infrastructure operational management solution.

I use Tanium to run all the security operations, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, threat hunting, red teaming, purple teaming, and everything within the vulnerability management space.
Server message block communication is one of the platform's strengths that tells how quickly it can get all the data. However, when we first deployed it, we were told to remove it immediately because it was causing issues along those lines. Within our system, we use the solution for the instant discovery and visibility aspect instead of using it to scan for vulnerability management. We have another solution for regular scanning. We use Tanium to collect the data from endpoints for the live response functions for looking at anomalous behaviors. When we had a specific targeted attack against it, a specific process was running, and we could identify and stop all of those.
We use Tanium as an EDR solution for managing end-user devices and servers.

We also use BigFix. Our primary use case for Tanium is for tool consolidation. Tanium is already equipped with multiple capabilities that BigFix has. These are almost parallel tools, running with similar kinds of capabilities. We are planning to flip to Tanium, which might primarily be used as a management solution. Overall, we use Tanium to interact and discover related queries. It is also used as our system information and event management tool.

We collect end-point data. We use it to make AI models and provide it to customers. I use Tanium’s sensors, collect data, and develop dashboards. The sensors have many data types. If we need different data types, we can write scripts.
