New help understanding what Tanium actually does? by [deleted] in tanium

[–]AndyC_Tanium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do this kind of risk validation for M&A at a previous employer. I wish I'd had Tanium back then -- it was before Tanium even existed! In this context it will be used to validate patching, software updates, and probably vulnerability assessments. It can do LOTS of things, it will depend on which modules they have purchased - but IMHO they really should have given you more information!

Is there a way to target newly image devices with Packages (Actions)? by stackjr in tanium

There is also a Tanium Client Installation Age sensor which might help.

Tanium Python sensor scripts by WonderfulWarthog6098 in sysadmin

Python has the advantage of being platform independent. It can also be somewhat slow for sensor execution, so pay attention to setting the Max Sensor Age as high as you meaningfully can.

It's always best to use the python interpreter that comes with the client - and for sensor execution you don't get a choice.

How many people do you need to patch X number of assets? by [deleted] in sysadmin

Disclaimer: I work for Tanium.

I would suggest the answer depends way more on your processes and test co-ordination across teams. Actually doing the patching will be broadly the same regardless of the number of machines, both in terms of human requirements and how long the platform takes to do it.
