Key takeaways

In the above video, Ashley, Kat, and Steven cover multiple use cases and benefits of Tanium Adaptive Actions and AEM in general.

What can IT teams do with Tanium Adaptive Actions?

• Automated software updates: Adaptive Actions can automatically follow release rings, ensuring that software updates are deployed progressively and systematically.
• Controlled rollouts: Deployment plans can segment the environment into different rings, allowing for structured and repeated rollouts.
• Real-time data integration: Progression criteria use real-time data to decide if updates should proceed, ensuring that only healthy endpoints receive updates.
• Manual overrides: Users can manually progress or pause actions if criteria are not met, providing additional control over deployments.
• Zero-day vulnerability mitigation: Adaptive Actions can be used to quickly deploy critical updates to mitigate zero-day vulnerabilities.

What are some potential benefits of Tanium Adaptive Actions?

• Increased efficiency: By automating the deployment process, Adaptive Actions reduce the manual effort required for software updates.
• Enhanced security: Controlled rollouts and real-time data integration help minimize the risk of deploying updates.
• Improved visibility: Detailed insights into the success or failure of deployments by rings and endpoints provide better visibility into the deployment process.
• Flexibility and control: Users have the flexibility to create multiple deployment plans and manually control the progression of updates.
• Reduced risk: Progressive rollouts and the ability to stop updates if unhealthy endpoint metrics are detected help reduce the risk of adverse effects.
