How to Defend Against Social Engineering During Widespread Remote Work
To make your organization more secure, the answer is, was and always will be in people. Jenny Radcliffe is the Founder and Director of Human-Centered Security, a social-engineering-focused cybersecurity firm.
Ripping Off the Endpoint Protection Bandaid
Bandaid solutions prevent business resilience. When an endpoint is compromised, time is of the essence and there are key questions that have to be answered as quickly as possible: How was your system initially infected? Which accounts were compromised? Was malware installed? Did your attacker move laterally? Perhaps most compelling: was data accessed or stolen?
Advancing Federal Technology Risk Management in the Distributed Workforce
Today’s networks – and the devices connecting to them – are more distributed, more diverse and more difficult to manage than ever before. This introduces a critical need for a comprehensive picture of endpoints.

Managing IT Risk in Financial Services: Why Visibility Matters in Times of Crisis
At the start of the year financial services (FSI) IT leaders had plenty to keep them busy. With post-financial crisis regulatory frameworks finally settling in, the talk was of organizations looking to embrace digital disruption to position themselves best for success.
Using Risk Prioritization to Strengthen Distributed Workforce Security
The basics of telework are in place for agencies – IT teams are prioritizing a careful assessment of cyber risks, current protections and what is needed to keep systems and data safe in an environment with exponentially more endpoints. As the number of devices outside of the protected network grows, the attack surface expands and risk increases.
Why Some Succeeded – and Some Struggled – During the Overnight Switch to WFH
People need to be adaptable to this new environment. Charles Ross is Chief Customer Officer at Tanium, a unified endpoint management and security platform.

Perspectives from the Tanium Federal User Group: Managing Risk in an Increasingly Complex World
A couple of weeks ago, we held our Federal Virtual User Group where we heard from Civilian and Department of Defense agencies on how they are leveraging the Tanium platform to adapt to a distributed workforce, modernize and consolidate tools and point solutions, and most importantly, manage risk. We kicked off the event by expanding the definition of technology risk management. Often, when speaking to different leaders throughout an agency, many definitions of risk emerge.
Enterprise-class Configuration Management: Introducing Tanium Enforce
When policy management tools like Active Directory Group Policy were created over 20 years ago, the primary endpoint computing device was something that employees came into an office to use and was expected to always be on the network. Back then, organizations were standing up Active Directory (AD) for the first time and had high hopes that they could continue managing a single domain or a single AD forest. But times have changed.

Recent research found approximately 90 percent of federal employees now telework and 76 percent feel they will be able to telework at least part-time in the future.
Securing Federal Remote Infrastructures in a Distributed Workforce
With the COVID-19 pandemic, for the first time, the majority of the federal workforce is decentralized. In March, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released an Enterprise VPN Security Alert encouraging organizations to adopt a heightened state of cybersecurity as it pertains to maintaining their VPNs. While this may seem logical, the fact that CISA felt the need to address the matter highlights the struggle that all agencies have faced for ages.
A New Approach to Managing and Securing Operational Environments
Federal agencies have transformed the way they operate in response to the COVID-19 pandemic – but the significant shift has created challenges for agencies that might have already been struggling with the basic blocking and tackling of endpoint hygiene and system patching. Agencies are now required to manage an estate in which the majority of endpoints are outside the enterprise boundary while leaning on a combination of government-issued and Bring-Your-Own-Devices – increasing risk to a level never before encountered.
Keeping IT Ops and Security Teams Close Despite Physical Distance
Efficient and effective collaboration across IT operations and cybersecurity teams remains an ever-present challenge for technology leaders. The silos that so commonly develop around and within these groups result from a variety of factors, with tool proliferation, strategic alignment, culture and many other factors contributing to the problem.

IT Operations Success Requires Knowing Your Assets
It’s surprising how many times I hear weeks or even months old inventory data driving all sorts of projects and even security-related processes. You wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint and full inventory of supplies.
IT Operations Starts With Visibility to All Devices
You can’t manage what you can’t see. Before software can be installed, compliance assessed, inventory gathered, or patches installed, a system has to be known and managed.
It's Time to Modernize IT Operations. Business Resilience Depends on It.
New challenges. Same expectations.
Design Consistency Creates Efficiency
Solving real-word customer problems. Our goal at Tanium is to provide solutions to real-world customer problems.
Leveraging Tanium Protect for Incident Remediation
Remediation is arguably the most important step in Incident Response, as it ensures malicious artifacts and other remnants of attacker activity are cleaned up to ensure the environment is more resilient to similar attacks going forward. Unfortunately, this step is often overlooked or tasks are distributed amongst siloed IT teams and can get lost in the ether.
