Real-time asset visibility
The Tanium Autonomous IT Platform provides real-time visibility and control across all types of endpoints—including IT, mobile, OT, and cloud—using a patented architecture designed for speed and scalability. It delivers detailed, current data on inventory, security, and configurations, even for unmanaged or transient devices, helping organizations reduce risk and make informed decisions.
Asset visibility: Because you can’t protect what you can’t see
Asset visibility is the foundation of IT and security operations. Without a clear, real-time understanding of what assets exist across your IT environment—your teams are operating blind.
Single source of truth
Effective asset visibility gives IT security and operations teams an accurate and accessible inventory of hardware and software in their environment.
Act with confidence
More asset coverage, fewer blind spots. Armed with real-time endpoint intelligence, teams are better equipped for active control and remediation.
Manage risk & compliance
Real-time endpoint intelligence helps enhance compliance and audit readiness for managed and unmanaged devices across the network.
Control IT costs
An accurate asset inventory helps save money by improving operator efficiencies, preventing audit fees, and helping reduce the number of unused software licenses.
Tanium supports IT security and operations teams with a comprehensive asset discovery and inventory workflow
Real-time and comprehensive asset visibility, powered by the Tanium Autonomous IT Platform, forms the basis of an endpoint management strategy that helps organizations reduce risk, improve agility, and maintain a resilient digital environment.
Real-time visibility
Tanium enables rapid discovery of endpoints and containers across the entire digital estate. The Tanium Autonomous IT Platform’s real-time intelligence helps organizations identify assets within minutes, not hours or days, supporting teams to act quickly on the most up-to-date information of their environment.
Single lightweight client
Tanium uses a lightweight, distributed client that scans environments of any size—including unmanaged subnets—with minimal network impact. This allows for scalable, efficient asset discovery without disrupting operations or requiring heavy infrastructure.
Detailed asset intelligence
Tanium provides granular, real-time asset intelligence including IP/MAC addresses, hardware types, hosted containers, and installed software. Operators can access configuration details and even file contents, enabling precise control and remediation decisions.
Customizable labels and reports
Asset intelligence in Tanium is organized using customizable labels and grouped interfaces. Operators can generate tailored reports and dashboards, filter by fields, and visualize endpoint intelligence to support operational insights and compliance tracking.
Automated asset discovery
With Tanium Automate, teams can harness automation playbooks to periodically scan for new and unmanaged assets. Integrations with CMDBs and other ecosystem tools (e.g., ITSM, SIEM, EDR) ensure that newly discovered assets are accounted for accurately and consistently across platforms.
Monitor software inventory and usage
Tanium enables software license reclamation and audit readiness by detecting both standard and portable software installations and tracking software usage in real time. It provides vendor, application, and version data, including first seen, last used, and removal dates.
