Tanium Protect

Tanium Protect is an enterprise endpoint security policy management and native operating system control solution engineered to configure, enforce, and monitor built-in operating system security features across distributed endpoints. Operating on the Tanium Platform, it eliminates the necessity for heavy third-party endpoint security software by managing and hardening native OS controls such as Windows Defender Antivirus, BitLocker encryption, Windows Firewall, and AppLocker from a centralized console.

The solution functions across Windows and macOS operating systems, utilizing the single, lightweight Tanium Client across physical desktops, mobile laptops, and cloud virtual machines. It integrates natively with enterprise active directories, SIEM platforms, and Tanium Comply to coordinate security baselines and automate policy enforcement workflows. Common operational use cases include configuring and monitoring native antivirus definitions across enterprise fleets, enforcing full-disk encryption and managing BitLocker recovery keys, managing host-based firewall rules, and restricting unauthorized USB removable storage devices.

By leveraging native operating system security capabilities, Tanium Protect reduces third-party software licensing expenses and eliminates endpoint performance drag. Security administrators can push policy adjustments to hundreds of thousands of endpoints in seconds, receiving immediate confirmation of policy enforcement status across the fleet. The platform hardens host-level defenses, streamlines endpoint compliance auditing, and ensures robust protection against unauthorized device access and malware infections.
