Tanium introduces Tanium Cloud Workloads, a new solution within its platform that provides real-time protection for container environments.

For cloud workloads, Tanium focuses on reducing the attack surface and improving security for containers, both on-premises and in the cloud.

Security for growing container environments

As container technology grows in organizations, the risk of vulnerabilities increases. Tanium Cloud Workloads helps organizations identify vulnerabilities and configuration issues in container images before they go into production. The solution provides visibility into clusters and nodes, helping to detect unwanted containers. This reduces risks and contributes to a more secure IT infrastructure.

In addition, the new functionality can be seamlessly integrated into Kubernetes environments. Tanium Cloud Workloads’ agent-based technology enables real-time monitoring and enforcement of security rules without additional tools. This saves time and increases compliance in complex container environments.

Increasing demand for container security

According to Gartner, 95 percent of companies will use containerized applications by 2028. This highlights the need for strong security in these environments. Tanium Cloud Workloads focuses on real-time monitoring, identifying vulnerabilities outside of development tools, and managing risks such as supply chain attacks.

By extending these capabilities within the existing Endpoint Management Platform, Tanium provides organizations with a unified solution for securing both traditional endpoints and containers. This makes IT security more consistent and independent of different tools.
