Click on the below image to catch up with the webinar run by Tanium on the 6 December, where Adam Clayton (CISO, University of Salford), Andrew Spencely (ex IT Security Manager, University of Sunderland) and Dave Hughes (Cyber Security Manager, Keele University) talked about their experiences of Tanium, and Ben Hall, Tanium's Technical Director, talked about the Tanium Platform Architecture.
Canterbury Christ Church University improved its security posture and staff efficiency by using Tanium's platform using real-time visibility, automation, compliance and reduced vulnerabilities. Read more here on the valuable findings and solutions Tanium provided for Canterbury Christ Church.
When Covid-19 struck, the University of Salford knew they were facing serious risks and threats of cybercrime due to the sudden switch to remote working and learning.
To combat this, Salford used the Tanium platform to get a comprehensive visibility of assets. This revealed hundreds of shadow IT endpoints, identified thousands of missing critical patches and vulnerabilities while also establishing real-time visibility into its 5,000 on-premises, remote, and cloud-based assets.
