What does Tanium primarily use to communicate the status of endpoints?

Tanium primarily uses peer-to-peer communication to relay the status of endpoints. This method allows for efficient data sharing and communication directly between the endpoints themselves, minimizing the need for centralized data collection and reducing network traffic. Each endpoint can send and receive information from its peers, which optimizes the speed of data processing and ensures that each computer in the network is updated in real time. This decentralized approach is beneficial for maintaining an up-to-date view of the security and performance status across many devices within an organization.

The other options do not accurately represent how Tanium operates. Standard email alerts are not the primary method for status communication, as they are less efficient for real-time updates. Centralized monitoring servers might involve a more traditional approach to device management but do not leverage the unique capabilities of Tanium’s architecture. Mobile application notifications are typically used for mobile management or alerts rather than for core endpoint status communication.
