Checklist Summary:

The Tanium 7.x on TanOS Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) is intended to provide security guidelines for the protection of the Tanium application and its components, including, but not limited to, the Tanium application, Tanium Console, Tanium Module Server, Tanium Clients, Tanium SQL Database, and TanOS. Tanium 7.x is a scalable endpoint security and management system. Its foundation is the Tanium Core, which includes basic asset inventory, control, and utilization monitoring capabilities, as well as connectors for integrating with third-party systems. Tanium uses a linear peer-to-peer architecture specifically designed for fault tolerance, transient endpoints, and global wide area network (WAN) segments. It is not a typical peer-to-peer application; only other Tanium endpoints can communicate over the peer-to-peer architecture. The clients communicate with each other over a specific Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port.

Disclaimer:

DISA accepts no liability for the consequences of applying specific configuration settings made on the basis of the SRGs/STIGs. It must be noted that the configuration settings specified should be evaluated in a local, representative test environment before implementation in a production environment, especially within large user populations. The extensive variety of environments makes it impossible to test these configuration settings for all potential software configurations.
