Tanium Patch: Zero Touch + Self Service - Tanium Tech Talks #64

Jun 28, 2023

"Reliable, verifiable, zero-touch patching." On today's Tanium Tech Talk learn about Zero Touch patching and Self Service.

The everyday block and tackle of IT operations is patching. The security teams needs it to cover the holes. The risk team needs to satisfy compliance. And the ops team is stuck doing it. That has been the story for years… until Tanium. Today we're going to see how Tanium has turned patching into quite literally a "set it and forget it" activity where everybody wins, even the end user. It truly is a game changer.

KEY POINTS

  • Set-it-and-forget-it with dynamic patch list rings (Windows & Linux)
  • Self-service for special handling of manufacturing, mission critical servers, healthcare, VIPs & more (Windows)
  • Combine both for early adopters to patch at convenient times
  • Handle bad patches with block lists and targeted uninstalls
