What data does the Tanium Asset module specifically track?

The Tanium Asset module is designed to provide comprehensive insights into the hardware and software landscape of an organization’s endpoints. It specifically tracks hardware specifications, which include information such as the type of processors, memory size, and storage capacity. Additionally, it monitors installed software on those endpoints, providing an inventory of various applications and their versions. Network configurations are also part of the data tracked, allowing administrators to understand how devices are set up in the network environment.

This detailed tracking is crucial for asset management, vulnerability assessments, compliance monitoring, and overall IT asset accountability. By knowing exactly what hardware and software assets exist within an organization, IT teams can make informed decisions about upgrades, patch management, and security strategies, thereby ensuring that all assets are secure and compliant with organizational policies and guidelines.
