How smart governance can contain agentic sprawl
As AI agents multiply at machine speed across the enterprise, governance must evolve to match their autonomy, scale, and risk.
Server patch management 101: Strategies for secure infrastructure
Server patch management is the process of identifying, testing, and deploying software updates to close security vulnerabilities in server operating systems and applications.
Mac patch management: The realities of macOS patching
Mac patch management is the process of identifying, testing, and deploying software updates across macOS endpoints and third-party applications to reduce the window of exposure before attackers can exploit known vulnerabilities. It's a foundational practice within any enterprise cybersecurity program, particularly as Mac adoption in corporate environments continues to grow.
Tanium Atlas: AI that doesn't just answer—it executes

Tanium + Moveworks + ServiceNow: Showcasing end-to-end incident resolution in a single experience
IT fulfillers typically juggle multiple systems to resolve a single incident: the ticket in ServiceNow, endpoint data in a separate console, and a knowledge base full of prior resolutions. The upcoming Moveworks integration with Tanium changes that. Real-time endpoint intelligence appears directly in the chat window where fulfillers already work, whether that is Slack, Microsoft Teams, or the ServiceNow web experience. The result is a faster, more focused workflow, coming soon through the Service Operations Assistant for Fulfillers, available with Moveworks from ServiceNow.

This episode is part of the Tanium Basics series, which covers the core concepts and building blocks you need to get the most out of the Tanium platform.
Types of AI agents: From simple reflex to autonomous systems
AI agents fall into five foundational categories: simple reflex, model-based reflex, goal-based, utility-based, and learning agents. Each is defined by how much environmental awareness and decision-making complexity the system can handle, from fixed condition-action rules to feedback-driven self-improvement.
