Wed Sep 11 09:30:31 UTC 2024: ## Tanium Launches Automate for Real-Time IT and Security Automation

**SAN FRANCISCO, CA – [Date]** – Tanium, a leading provider of endpoint management and security solutions, today announced the launch of Tanium Automate, a powerful new platform designed to automate complex IT and security tasks in real-time.

Automate leverages the Tanium platform’s real-time architecture and extensive endpoint capabilities to enable organizations to replace manual processes with simple, no-code orchestration and automation. This allows IT and security teams to streamline workflows, improve operational efficiency, and enhance cybersecurity posture.

“Automate radically simplifies complex automations through dynamic real-time endpoint targeting, allowing organizations to manage automations in even the most diverse, scaled IT environments,” said Matt Quinn, CTO at Tanium. “By bridging automations seamlessly between IT and security teams, it provides operational excellence and provides both resiliency and confidence to all our customers.”

**Real-World Impact at VF Corporation**

VF Corporation, a global apparel and footwear company, is already experiencing the benefits of Automate. “When patching servers and remediating vulnerabilities, it’s critical that we stop all services and confirm they are off before proceeding,” explained David Anderson, VFC patch automation and vulnerability remediation lead. “Automate has made this process seamless, allowing us to control specific services, verify they are no longer running, and deploy patches within a single platform at the click of a button.”

**Addressing Resource Constraints with Low-Code Automation**

Automate empowers organizations to leverage the power of automation without requiring highly specialized expertise. Its intuitive low-code interface enables users with varying technical skills to create and manage repeatable playbooks, automating even the most complex task sequences.

“With Automate, customers will eliminate cumbersome, manual, and time-consuming tasks accelerating productivity of your teams through automation of actions and streamlining workflows,” said Phil Harris, Research Director, Government, Risk and Compliance, IDC.

**Expanding Ecosystem with Partner Solutions**

Tanium’s growing partner ecosystem, including System Integrators, MSPs, VARs, and ISVs, are leveraging Automate to create customized solutions. This includes a range of pre-built playbooks covering cybersecurity and IT operations tasks such as server cluster patching, vulnerability management, software license reclamation, and workstation provisioning.

**Introducing Tanium Ask: AI-Powered Querying**

In addition to Automate, Tanium is introducing Tanium Ask, an AI-powered natural language interface that allows users to query data from millions of endpoints in seconds. This eliminates the need for complex syntax, making it easier than ever to access and analyze crucial endpoint information.

**Gartner Recognizes AEM as an Emerging Technology**

Last month, Gartner recognized Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM), which Automate is a key component of, as an “Emerging” technology in its annual Hype Cycle report. Gartner highlights AEM’s ability to accelerate endpoint patching and configuration management, leading to improved compliance, employee experience, and productivity.

The launch of Tanium Automate and Tanium Ask underscores Tanium’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions that empower organizations to manage and secure their endpoints more efficiently and effectively.
