What capabilities does Tanium provide for incident response?

Tanium provides robust capabilities for incident response, focusing on the automation of remediation and response actions. This functionality is essential in managing and mitigating security incidents promptly and efficiently. By automating these processes, organizations can significantly reduce the time it takes to respond to incidents, thus minimizing potential damage and ensuring that systems return to a secure state more quickly. Tanium's incident response capabilities include features that enable security teams to execute responses across endpoints quickly, apply patches, isolate affected systems, or gather forensic data without manual intervention, which streamlines operations and enhances overall security posture.

Other options such as biometric authentication, network segmentation, and firewall configuration are important security measures, but they do not directly relate to the incident response capabilities that Tanium provides. Instead, they serve different purposes in an organization's security framework, focusing on prevention and access control rather than the specific processes and actions taken during an incident response scenario.
