What is the function of the Tanium Patch module?

The function of the Tanium Patch module is to automate and manage the deployment of software updates and patches across endpoints in a network. This module is crucial for maintaining the security and functionality of systems, as it ensures that all necessary updates are applied in a timely manner, reducing vulnerabilities and improving performance.

Using the Patch module, administrators can easily schedule and deploy patch updates, monitor compliance, and generate reports to ensure that all endpoints are up-to-date. This centralized approach simplifies the process of software maintenance and helps organizations effectively manage their IT environments by addressing potential security risks posed by outdated software.

The other options, while related to system management and security in different contexts, do not align with the specific role of the Patch module in Tanium. Initiating network scans, restricting user access, and logging user activities are separate functionalities that are handled by different Tanium modules or tools within an IT management framework.
