What type of data can Tanium gather from endpoints?

Tanium is designed to collect a wide range of data from endpoints, enabling organizations to gain a comprehensive understanding of their IT environments. The correct choice encompasses hardware specifications, software inventory, and network configuration.

Hardware specifications include details about the physical components of devices, such as CPUs, memory, and storage. This information is crucial for asset management and capacity planning. Software inventory refers to the applications installed on the endpoints, which is essential for license compliance and identifying unauthorized software. Network configuration data provides insights into how endpoints are connected and configured within the network, allowing for better troubleshooting and security posture assessment.

The other options are too narrow in scope or focus on data types that Tanium does not specifically gather under its primary capabilities. While employee data and network performance can be important in various contexts, they are not the primary focus of what Tanium is built to track and manage under its endpoint data gathering functionalities. Similarly, restricting data collection to only security status and compliance records limits the comprehensive nature of Tanium’s capabilities. Thus, the chosen answer accurately reflects the breadth of data that Tanium can gather from endpoints.
