Cybersecurity software provider Tanium Inc. today announced the launch of a new endpoint management solution that offers automated insights and remediation.

Called Tanium Automate, the new service combines real-time endpoint visibility and data with the ability to contextualize that data and turn it into real-time action. Claimed to be the first “autonomous endpoint management-enabled platform,” the service allows organizations to mitigate risk autonomously on a continuous basis for cyber readiness.

Automate allows customers to gain significant efficiencies across their information technology operations and security teams, with faster risk mitigation through automation based on real-time data, real-time peer success metrics and customer-defined thresholds.

With the new service, customers can orchestrate actions to scale their operations. The orchestrations allow operators to sequence actions across multiple areas of the platform and roll out the changes in a phased way customized to their environment. Automate also allows repetitive tasks, such as patching or vulnerability remediation, to be automated.

“Organizations are experiencing both a proliferation of endpoints as well as IT and security teams that are stretched too thin,” said Chief Technology Officer Matt Quinn. “This makes the need for intelligent automation more critical than ever.”

Automate taps into capabilities within Tanium’s extended endpoint management platform Tanium Guardian to assist teams tasked with protecting vast arrays of endpoints. Through the use of real-time data, customers are quickly made aware of emerging issues such as zero-day vulnerabilities through a push. Guardian learns and adapts to environments, identifies and prioritizes risks based on assets and recommends operator actions.

Tanium Automate is currently in private preview across dozens of customers and is slated for general availability in the coming weeks.

The venture capital-backed startup has raised $1.06 billion in funding, including a round of $150 million in 2021. Investors include Salesforce Ventures LLC, Fidelity Investments, Baillie Gifford & Co. Ltd., T. Rowe Price Associates Ltd., Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Agile Equity Partners LP and Institutional Venture Partners LP.
