Archived: Evading exploit emergencies: Tanium’s keys to prevention & detection
Watch Now
One of the most preventable causes of malicious exploits that result in damaging breaches or malware attacks is the failure to update known software vulnerabilities. Ideally, your organization is vigilant enough to patch these flaws as soon as they are publicly divulged. But if one does slip through the cracks and becomes exploited, you at least want to catch the anomalous activity quickly in order to minimize impact.
This democast will showcase how the Tanium platform allows end-user organizations to tackle such incidents from both angles – pre- and post-exploitation.
- On the prevention side, Tanium allows businesses the comprehensive visibility, in real time, to find and remediate vulnerable versions of software on managed endpoints to reduce an organization's attack surface.
- On the detection side, Tanium allows users to flag anomalous activity such as suspicious code execution in real time so that IT security teams can quickly investigate the cause of the breach and remediate the entry point used by an attacker. The objective is to prevent attackers from achieving the dwell time necessary to commence lateral movement across the enterprise and gain a stronger foothold into your systems.
Join Tanium for an instructive look at how, with the right tools and approach, businesses can reduce their risk of experiencing a full-fledged exploit emergency by stopping it before it happens, or short-circuiting the intrusion shortly after it occurs.
