Unfortunately, this endless game up catchup rarely leaves room for proactive threat hunting. HuntIQ combines Tanium’s Autonomous fabric, real-time endpoint visibility, industry-leading threat intelligence, and the expertise of seasoned threat hunters to help you detect what others miss and respond faster. Register to see how HuntIQ can elevate your threat detection strategy. 
 

In this session, you’ll learn how Tanium: 

Hunts and tracks elusive threats that evade basic detection, continuously building contextual understanding of your environment. 

Turns global threat intelligence into contextual, actionable guidance specific to your environment and risk profile.

Enhances your Tanium investment by expertly managing specialized threat hunting and analysis tasks.

What's Your HuntIQ? Transform your Security Operations with Tanium

Managing today’s diverse endpoint landscape of mobile platforms, virtual machines, and user workstations has become increasingly complex. Many organizations rely on separate tools that create data silos and disconnected processes, making it difficult to maintain consistent visibility, coordinate actions, and respond effectively. As a result, IT and security teams face growing risks and reduced operational efficiency. 

In this webinar, learn how the Tanium Connector for Microsoft Intune unifies visibility and control across mobile and enterprise endpoints, extending Tanium oversight while preserving Microsoft Intune workflows and management practices.  By ingesting telemetry from Intune, see how Tanium eliminates blind spots and reduces operational silos and extends Autonomous Endpoint Management across the endpoint landscape.

From Fragmented to Unified: Driving Mobile Device Management with Tanium and Microsoft Intune

As organizations face growing complexity in both endpoint management and security, the old playbook—where separate teams rely on manual, disjointed processes— is no longer sustainable. The risks of partial visibility, skills gaps, and fragmented workflows are real, and they’re holding teams back at a time when the volume of devices, threats, and operational demands continues to climb.

That’s why Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM) is generating so much interest. By combining intelligence, automation, and real-time visibility, AEM offers a path to unify IT and security teams, improve resilience, and close critical gaps in vulnerability and patch management. In this session, Tanium’s Erik Gaston and ESG’s Gabe Knuth will explore new research on the state of endpoint operations and discuss how organizations are adopting AEM to modernize their approach.

Why Autonomous Endpoint Management is the Next Step for Security and IT Operations

For CIOs & CISOs, the current IT landscape is challenged by a lack of visibility and no clear understanding of what is required to get control of environments and more importantly, how to find the “edges” of a constantly growing network.

There are 2 separate – but related – practices that aim to address this challenge:

IT Asset Management (ITAM) ensures an organization's assets are accounted for, deployed, maintained, upgraded, and disposed of when the time comes.

Configuration Management Database (CMDB) contains all relevant information about the hardware and software components used in an organization's IT services and the relationships among those components.

While ITAM and CMDB are interconnected, they serve different purposes. Organizations need to both manage its tangible IT assets while at the same time maintain a holistic view across their IT estate to identify assets in real time and protect the business from security and compliance risks.

In this session, hear from Tanium partner Ernst & Young (EY) as they discuss practical ways to help you understand a proactive approach to effectively manage your ITAM and CMDB strategies to gain command and control of assets, reduce risk and maximize the value of IT investments.
