Our take
For millions of companies, cyber security is high on the agenda, especially as remote working has become the norm. Tanium offers a security and systems management platform that allows real-time data collection at an enterprise scale. It covers customers such as AutoNation, GoDaddy, and Whirlpool who use the company’s software to stay abreast of the ever-increasing level of sophisticated cyber attacks.
A valuable tool for enterprises and government organisations, Tanium partners with leading platforms and service providers across the world like Google Cloud, Oracle and Verizon. In doing so, it allows security and IT teams access to accurate information on the state of endpoints, helping it to realise new levels of business resilience.
The company continues to innovate its offering through both further development and partnerships. For example, it collaborated with Salesforce to support IT service management, remote monitoring and management, and cybersecurity capabilities. It also made its autonomous operating system generally available to all commercial cloud customers in 2026, with more than 1,300 organisations adopting it in the first six weeks.
