7. Automated Install Tool For Tanium Client
An automated set of tools and processes have now made it possible to automatically deploy and install the Tanium client on any unmanaged workload such as an Amazon Web Services Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance, Constantine said. Devices without the appropriate management agent can’t be inventoried, properly secured, or have policies enforced on them, according to Constantine.
This process used to be a manual one for customers, Constantine said, requiring them to go through a process to distribute the Tanium client to their infrastructure. But now, Constantine said the process is automated as new on-prem or cloud-hosted virtual machines are spun up.
Automated detection will find any new instances that aren’t accounted for and automatically install the Tanium client on those devices, according to Constantine. This will allow them to be properly managed and secured, Constantine said.
