Tanium Guide – Tanium Tech Talks #115

Tanium Guide is a feature within Tanium AEM that proactively alerts customers about issues in their environment and provides actionable steps to resolve them by consolidating existing feed and Guardian notifications into two new categories: Guidance and Observations.

Watch the video for demonstrations of these new Tanium Guide capabilities, including an improved user interface and notification customization options.

Key takeaways

In the video, Ashley, Kat, and Navinth discuss typical use cases that Guide was built to address, as well as future development plans to expand its alerting capabilities even further.

Top Tanium Guide use cases

• Windows Defender signatures: One of the primary use cases for Guide is tracking Windows Defender signatures. Guide alerts users when their Windows Defender signatures are outdated and offers actionable steps to resolve the issue. This ensures that the latest security updates protect devices in the environment.
• Benchmark notifications: Guide also highlights notifications related to Tanium Benchmark. It alerts users if there is a significant increase or decrease in their risk score percentile, enabling them to investigate further without constantly monitoring the Benchmark console. This keeps users informed about the security posture of their environment and allows them to take necessary actions promptly.
• Custom alerts and future use cases: Guide is designed to support use cases across various Tanium modules, including endpoint management, risk and compliance, and more. Future developments include building custom alerts for users and expanding the use cases to cover more modules.
