Tanium Launches Certificate Manager, Expands XEM Platform

Tanium, a provider of converged endpoint management (XEM), has released its certificate manager and enhanced policy management capabilities, offering organizations convenient tool consolidation, cost and time savings, and accurate reporting via Tanium’s XEM platform.

Organizations struggle to see and manage digital certificates; the average modern enterprise manages up to hundreds of thousands of certificates, often manually. When digital certificates are not managed properly, downtime can impact business operations and cause financial and reputational damage.

“IT environments continue to grow in complexity, leaving organizations to grapple with countless disparate tools and manual processes to find and patch vulnerabilities, configure policies, and manage certificates, all while keeping pace with the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats,” said Nic Surpatanu, chief product officer, Tanium. “By adding new capabilities to our XEM platform for certificate management, device management for macOS, and enhanced policy for Windows, organizations are able to consolidate point solutions with a single management platform across all endpoints.”

Unlike other certificate management solutions, Tanium’s XEM platform modernizes certificate management to inventory certificates across all endpoints, even ones invisible to existing tools, provide visibility into expiring or unauthorized certificates and find ciphers and certificates vulnerable to compromise, in real-time via a single endpoint management platform. It also enables organizations to inventory cryptographic services in preparation for moving to quantum-resistant encryption.

Tanium also expanded its XEM platform with enhancements to Tanium Enforce, which provides unified policy and configuration management at scale, allowing organizations to simplify and centralize the management of their devices. Features and capabilities include:

  • USB removable storage management – Enables granular control and reporting on USB removable storage devices via a single platform/client that can prevent malware and data exfiltration while providing access for authorized devices.
  • Modern device management for macOS – Provides customers the ability to enroll macOS devices, enforce compliance and security policies, and patch vulnerabilities from the same Tanium XEM platform that also manages their Windows and Linux devices.
  • Enhanced policy management for Windows – Allows organizations to manage, enforce, and report on their policies across local and remote endpoints whether joined to a domain or not.

As organizations embrace digital transformation, speed, scale and visibility are crucial to prepare for cyber threats. To learn more about how Tanium helps customers future-proof their organization visit www.tanium.com.
