Tanium Semiannual Release SAR - Tanium Tech Talks #113

Tanium Semiannual Release SAR - Tanium Tech Talks #113

Dec 11, 2024

The new semiannual release schedule is for customers that use Tanium on premises. The semiannual releases streamline the deployment process and enhance the stability and predictability of Tanium solutions. By transitioning from weekly updates to semiannual releases, Tanium aims to ease the work involved for Tanium administrators to plan and deploy releases.

See how on-prem customers get all the enhancements already enjoyed by cloud customers in high-quality, predictable releases.

  • Updates to server, client, modules released twice each year
  • Security and bug fixes (no new features) released as needed
  • Save time by batching releases into fewer change controls
  • Extra quality testing for critical and air-gapped on-prem environments
  • See release notes linked below for new features included
