Family & Children’s Services Strengthens Security While Drastically Cutting Costs Using Tanium

KIRKLAND, Wash., August 20, 2024 – Tanium, the industry’s leading provider of Converged Endpoint Management (XEM), today shared that customer and community mental-health center Family & Children’s Services (FCS), increased available funding to support individuals in the Tulsa community by implementing the award-winning Tanium XEM platform. By enhancing its IT efficiencies, automation, and security, the non-profit now enables its 1,200 employees to support children and adults across Oklahoma with more than 75 recovery programs for those battling mental illness and addiction. Providing hope and healing to one in six Tulsans, FCS’ offerings benefit a large percentage of the community, and its mission to promote, support, and strengthen the well-being of adults, children, and families is deeply personal to the FCS team.  

“Tanium has been a critical tool to having more confidence in securing our IT systems,” said Brent Harris, CIO, Family & Children’s Services. “Nothing would bring this agency down faster than a breach. With Tanium, we have insight into everything we have. That’s very valuable.” 

During the world changing Covid19 pandemic, FCS distributed over 2,000 additional endpoint devices to clients to stay ahead of the demand for telehealth services. Unfortunately, this period of rapid growth revealed that its older security tools did not provide a full picture of those endpoints. Utilizing one platform across functions to manage over 3,500 endpoints eliminated this problem and positively impacted FCS’s compliance efforts, protecting data that is regulated by the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).  

“Being a human-services organization, Family & Children’s Services must rely on real-time, cloud-based endpoint management and security to protect the communities they are supporting on a daily basis,” said Steve Daheb, chief marketing officer, Tanium. “Because Tanium’s XEM platform features solutions spanning from visibility to remediation, FCS is able to break down traditional silos and reduce the complexity, cost, and risks associated with deploying multiple point solutions, empowering employees to stay focused on serving local communities.” 

Through real-time endpoint visibility, control, and remediation, the Tanium XEM platform makes it possible to instantly analyze devices and data on every endpoint to apply updates and changes at the speed and scale demanded by modern enterprises. It makes it possible for IT operations and security teams to effectively collaborate on a single platform, leveraging a purpose-built integrated console that provides a single source of truth for the organization.
