Audiovisual media provider RTL Belgium gains visibility and control of endpoints with Tanium in the midst of an acquisition.
Key takeaways
Tanium helps RTL Belgium manage endpoint inventory, vulnerabilities and IT operations
Needed: New security and management tools
RTL Belgium needed new security and management tools. Their patch-management solution couldn’t support PCs upgraded to new builds of Windows 10. Their vulnerability management solution could scan, but not remediate. And their client-management tools were disjointed.
Patching servers in waves, not all at once
One tricky aspect was the requirement to patch the lowest-risk servers first, to ensure there were no disruptions, then move on to midrange and finally high-level risks. Before using Tanium, that had to be done by hand, a painstaking and time-consuming process.
Keeping servers up-to-date, cleaning PC bugs
With Tanium, RTL Belgium can now detect which servers need the latest patches, keeping all its systems protected. And on the client side, Tanium is helping the team detect and fix troublesome bugs. It also alerts them when older PCs are running out of storage.
“We wanted to make sure Tanium was what we needed. In fact, we found that Tanium is even more powerful than we expected.”
