How does Tanium contribute to data loss prevention?

Tanium contributes to data loss prevention primarily through its ability to ensure compliance with data management policies. The platform provides organizations with the tools to monitor, enforce, and report on compliance related to how data is handled and protected across their systems. This includes the ability to assess what data is being stored, how it’s being accessed, and whether it conforms to regulatory requirements and internal policies governing data security and privacy.

By consistently monitoring endpoints for compliance, organizations can prevent data loss scenarios that could arise from non-compliance, such as mishandling of sensitive data or failure to implement necessary security controls. Furthermore, Tanium’s real-time visibility allows for quicker remediation of potential vulnerabilities, ensuring that sensitive data is safeguarded against unauthorized access or leaks, thus forming a fundamental part of a robust data loss prevention strategy.
