Tanium introduces Tanium Cloud Workloads, a new solution within its platform that provides real-time protection for containerized environments.
With Cloud Workloads, Tanium focuses on reducing the attack surface and improving security for containers, both on-premises and in the cloud.
Security for growing containerized environments
With the growth of container technology in enterprises, the risk of vulnerabilities is increasing. Tanium Cloud Workloads helps organizations by identifying vulnerabilities and configuration issues in container images before they go into production. The solution provides visibility into clusters and nodes, which helps detect rogue containers. This lowers risks and contributes to a more secure IT infrastructure.
In addition, the new functionality integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes environments. Tanium Cloud Workloads’ agent-based technology enables real-time monitoring and enforcement of security rules without additional tools. This saves time and increases compliance within complex container environments.
Increasing demand for container security
According to Gartner, 95 percent of companies will have containerized applications in use by 2028. This underscores the need for strong security within these environments. Tanium Cloud Workloads focuses on real-time monitoring, identifying vulnerabilities outside development tools and managing risks such as supply chain attacks.
By extending these features within the existing Endpoint Management Platform, Tanium provides organizations with a unified solution to secure both traditional endpoints and containers. This makes IT security more consistent and less dependent on different tools.
