Cybersecurity software provider Tanium Inc. today announced the launch of Tanium AI and new features in autonomous endpoint management service to drive operational efficiency and faster risk mitigation through automation.

Announced at Tanium’s annual Converge Conference, the new features and artificial intelligence service bring together preconfigured playbooks, seamless platform integrations, AI-driven insights, workflows and remediation for improved operational efficiency and risk mitigation.

The releases seek to address the issue wherein resource constraints in IT and the increasing pace, frequency and sophistication of cyberthreats create the need for an autonomous platform to automate everyday operational tasks and better identify threats and vulnerabilities. Tanium also argues that the challenges highlight the importance of real-time data for AI, since organizations using stale or slightly outdated data do not realize the full benefits of AI.

The release combines real-time endpoint data with newer generations of AI models. With AEM, Tanium reduces cost while also lowering risk by automating everyday tasks to free up time and ensure compliance. Common issue remediation is automated to minimize help desk burden and disruptions and customizes workflows for operational efficiency.

Highlights include autonomous insights that leverage large language models to learn and adapt to environments. The insights improve operator productivity by identifying and prioritizing risks based on asset criticality and recommending actions that serve as a conduit to autonomous vulnerability remediation.

Autonomous workflows automatically generate context-based workflows by learning from operation actions to understand how information technology systems are organized and how various endpoints and systems are related. Autonomous remediation produces high-confidence response models and can take subsequent actions without requiring intervention. With oversight and reporting, customers can choose which level of autonomy they are comfortable using.

“Tanium’s ability to query and analyze data on every endpoint in real time and apply updates and changes at speed and scale is a foundational differentiator for us,” said Chief Executive Dan Streetman. “When we combine this data with the ability to take action through AI, our customers are empowered to mitigate risks and remediate incidents before damage occurs.”

Also announced today at the Tanium Convergence Conference were additional features that are part of the company’s automation drive. Guardian provides customers with the latest information and recommendations on critical emerging vulnerabilities from Tanium’s endpoint security research experts, and Automate drives efficiency by automating mission-critical but repetitive or manual tasks.

The company also announced Cloud Workloads, a feature that extends extended endpoint management support to cloud-native workloads, specifically containers. Designed to address the growth of cloud-native workloads across hybrid cloud environments, the newly added support for containers extends its visibility, vulnerability management and incident response capabilities for Tanium customers.
