Tanium is an enterprise solution that allows you to query and modify your managed computer assets in seconds, regardless of the size of your network. Tanium’s service creates for every customer an IT central nervous system that can quickly scan and report back on suspicious behavior or programs. Tanium employs a new kind of peer-to-peer system, one that bears a passing resemblance to file-sharing networks such as Napster and BitTorrent. With Tanium, each computer on a network talks to the computer next to it, relaying information along a chain before sending it back to a single server in a fraction of the time the old brute-force method takes. Generating similar reports with pre-Tanium software could take hours or days, at which point the information might be useless.
