Tanium, a leader in Autonomous IT, has announced at the world’s largest and most influential cybersecurity conference major advancements that accelerate the journey toward autonomous operations and security. The innovations unveiled across the Tanium Autonomous IT Platform address the demand for AI to unify and accelerate IT operations and security.
Tanium announced major advancements across Security Operations, Exposure Management, and Endpoint Management at RSAC 2026.
Tanium Guardian Spotlight: AI Tools provides visibility into AI tools, local LLMs, MCP servers, and AI model files across Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints.
Tanium AI introduces Enrichment and Analysis capabilities to transform alerts into actionable intelligence.
Closed-Loop Exposure Remediation kicks off OS and software patching workflows directly from risk analysis interfaces.
Tanium Endpoint Management for OT expands capabilities to HMIs, PLCs, and SCADA systems for unified IT and industrial visibility.
Tanium AI Agent for ServiceNow automates IT incident workflows with suggested remediation options from a single chat interface.
Tanium Guardian Spotlight: AI Tools strengthens AI governance by providing visibility into AI tools operating across the endpoint environment – in real time. It identifies AI tools, local LLMs, MCP servers and AI model files on Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints, while surfacing risk indicators such as potentially misconfigured MCP servers. Delivered through Tanium Guardian notifications, customers can instantly pivot into a targeted dashboard of affected endpoints for rapid investigation and auditing.
Tanium AI expands with two new competency categories — Enrichment and Analysis — delivering deeper understanding and actionable insights from Tanium’s platform. Now available within Tanium Security Operations, these capabilities transform alerts and datasets into clear, actionable intelligence. The Tanium AI Enrichment capability adds rich context from Tanium’s Autonomous IT Platform and trusted external sources to raw endpoint data, while the Analysis capability distills complex information into concise insights, key impacts and recommended actions. Together, Tanium AI Enrichment and Analysis empower teams to upskill security analysts, improve decision agility and speed remediation – turning intelligence into action with confidence.
Tanium Exposure Management now kicks off OS and software patching workflows directly from the risk analysis and prioritization interface by showing unscheduled remediation actions prioritized by the risks they address. By pre-populating software updates and comparing this to the current update pipelines, Tanium’s Autonomous IT Platform accelerates decision making between security and IT teams. Driven by real-time intelligence, Tanium Autonomous IT brings vulnerability discovery, prioritization and remediation together in one place to strengthen both operational and security resilience.
Expanding Tanium’s endpoint management capabilities into OT environments delivers real-time intelligence and vulnerability detection across assets that have traditionally operated in isolation. By incorporating OT systems such as human-machine interfaces (HMIs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems into the Autonomous IT Platform, Tanium provides a unified view across IT and industrial operations. This convergence strengthens both operational resilience and security, ensuring critical infrastructure gains the same speed, insight and adaptability that define modern IT environments.
Embedded directly into ServiceNow’s Now Assist, the Tanium AI Agent for ServiceNow automates an IT incident workflow to investigate and analyze real-time endpoint intelligence. It then provides the help desk operator with suggested remediation options when an incident is opened. From a single chat interface, administrators can get accurate answers and perform recommended actions, such as rebooting a device or uninstalling software, eliminating the need for time-consuming investigations.
“Tanium is making autonomous IT real at a time when IT and security teams are dealing with more devices, threats, vulnerabilities and signals than they can process manually,” said Gabe Knuth, principal analyst, end-user computing and user protection at Omdia. “The Growing Role of AI in Endpoint Management report by Omdia (Enterprise Strategies Group) shows half of organizations are already using or piloting autonomous endpoint management, with nearly all the rest planning to. What Tanium is doing, bringing security operations, exposure management and endpoint management together on one platform, gives those autonomous capabilities the context they need to work.”
“At RSAC, Tanium is expanding what AI can deliver for security teams – turning real-time endpoint intelligence into governed, actionable outcomes at speed and scale. We are working diligently on additional advances in unifying context, surfacing what matters most and helping organizations close the remediation loop on the growing volume and complexity of vulnerabilities and threats,” said Harman Kaur, senior vice president of technology strategy and AI at Tanium.
