What is the purpose of Tanium Satellite?

The purpose of Tanium Satellite is to designate specific endpoints to run targeted, secure workloads on behalf of the Tanium Platform or other solutions. This allows organizations to extend their capabilities by enabling remote management and control over distributed systems or environments that may not be always accessible or conveniently managed through traditional means.

By utilizing Tanium Satellite, organizations can optimize their efforts to manage and monitor endpoints effectively in various locations, particularly in scenarios where infrastructure might be limited or where data security is a concern. By running workloads on these designated endpoints, organizations ensure that the Tanium Platform can efficiently gather information, enforce security policies, and respond to threats across a broader range of operational contexts.

This functionality is essential for enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the Tanium ecosystem, particularly in environments where remote or hard-to-reach endpoints are prevalent. This makes it a critical component for maintaining effective IT operations and security management across diverse infrastructures.
