Device Classification with Tanium for Windows

The Netskope and Tanium integration enables joint customers to leverage Tanium’s high-fidelity endpoint data and user-friendly natural language search capabilities to determine if an endpoint’s overall posture equates to compliant, safe, or managed. These endpoint posture dispositions, determined either one-time or on a recurring basis, would drive a decision to have Netskope treat that endpoint differently than a non-compliant, risky, or unmanaged device. Utilizing adaptive policy controls, the user of that non-compliant device may not be able to download or upload files while the device is in a risky posture, but can still perform basic functions, such as browsing the web, sending email, etc.

Once Tanium finds the device to be compliant again, it can flag the endpoint enabling Netskope to determine its new state, match against the compliant policy, and in this example, let the user again move files around, knowing that the user is making those decisions, not a potentially compromised host.  

Of course, users can’t benefit from Netskope’s protection capabilities if it isn’t deployed or up-to-date. Leveraging Tanium’s software management and configuration management capabilities, you can ensure that the latest Netskope steering client is deployed, installed, and active on managed hosts.

Here’s an illustration of how Netskope and Tanium work together.
