Which of the following tasks can Tanium help automate?

Tanium is designed to streamline and automate various IT management tasks, particularly those that involve software and system administration. The ability to perform remote software installation and updates is one of Tanium's core functionalities. This capability allows IT teams to efficiently deploy applications, patches, and updates across multiple endpoints simultaneously, thereby reducing the time and effort required to manage software on each individual machine.

Remote software management not only helps in maintaining system integrity and security but also minimizes downtime during updates, enhancing overall operational efficiency. In contrast, the other options involve processes that typically require more human intervention or cannot be fully automated using Tanium’s capabilities. Manual data entry, physical hardware upgrades, and employee onboarding processes involve tasks that might benefit from automation but are not directly facilitated by Tanium’s primary focus on endpoint management and data analysis.
