Although automation has been part of IT for years, achieving it safely and confidently at scale continues to challenge many teams. Tanium AEM addresses that challenge by combining automation with real-time telemetry, confidence scoring, and intelligent processes to reduce risk while accelerating change. From automated patching workflows and software deployment to proactive remediation and digital employee experience, Tanium AEM helps organizations move faster without sacrificing control.
Rather than a simple feature demo, this conversation dives into the real-world impact of autonomous endpoint management and how it helps IT teams stay ahead while managing increasing complexity, tighter deadlines, and emerging AI risks.
Watch the full video to see Scott’s candid first look at Tanium AEM, Sean’s deep technical perspective, and Ashley’s take on why this approach is redefining IT operations.
Key takeaways
- Automate with control and reduced risk: Tanium AEM empowers IT teams to implement automation through structured workflows and safeguards that ensure stability throughout the environment.
- Make informed decisions with confidence scores: Leverage real-world performance data using anonymized telemetry collected from more than 30 million endpoints to gain a crowdsourced health check for patches and updates (like a Yelp review), so you can deploy with confidence and reliability.
“I love the fact that’s it’s showing if you install this, it’s gonna affect your CPU… From a performance engineering standpoint, this is gold.”Performance Engineer and Tech Content Creator Scott Moore
- Deployment rings simplify change control: Canary rollouts, success thresholds, and deferred endpoints make phased deployments easier and safer, even for critical systems.
“The idea of a canary rollout is nothing new, but you’ve made it very simple here to do.”Performance Engineer and Tech Content Creator Scott Moore
- Automation handles both the mundane and the messy: From low disk space cleanup to automated patch error fixes, the Tanium Automate module tackles repetitive tasks so teams can focus on higher-value work.
- Tanium Guide and Guardian deliver actionable insights: These dashboards surface vulnerabilities and prioritize remediation, which helps teams respond faster to emerging threats and provides a critical advantage in an AI-driven attack landscape.
“This is the kind of stuff that prevents you from getting that death from a thousand cuts. The larger it scales, the more this kind of detail is important.”Performance Engineer and Tech Content Creator Scott Moore
- Digital employee experience is built in: Tanium AEM goes beyond monitoring systems by engaging users for feedback, enforcing standards, and providing self-service options to resolve performance issues.
“Having something like this at our disposal without having to do all of that grunt work to dig around in and pull back files and stuff from people's machines would save so much time. It'd already be over before the person even knew about it.”Performance Engineer and Tech Content Creator Scott Moore
- Know the difference between observability and experience monitoring: Inside-out monitoring of employee experience complements traditional observability tools, giving IT a complete picture of system health and user sentiment.
- The future of IT and cybersecurity is autonomous: Learn what’s next for Tanium AEM, including deeper automation, smarter insights, and integrations that move organizations closer to autonomous operations.
