What is Tanium's primary method for managing sensitive data?

Tanium's primary method for managing sensitive data involves data encryption and access controls. This approach is critical because encryption protects data by making it unreadable to unauthorized users, ensuring that even if data is intercepted, it remains secure. Access controls are equally important, as they restrict who can view or manipulate sensitive data based on user roles, minimizing the risk of data breaches.

By leveraging encryption and establishing strict access controls, organizations can safeguard their data, comply with regulations, and maintain the trust of their clients and stakeholders. This combination effectively mitigates risks associated with data exposure and enhances the overall security posture of the organization.

While replication and backup are vital for data recovery, and physical security measures can help protect the hardware where data is stored, encrypting data and implementing access controls are essential for actively managing and securing sensitive information against unauthorized access. User training and awareness contribute to an organization’s overall security strategy but are not the primary method for managing sensitive data.
