Why might an organization decide against using a satellite for specific endpoints?

An organization might decide against using a satellite for specific endpoints due to concerns about exposing sensitive data. Satellites are typically set up to handle connections for endpoints that are remote or outside the traditional network perimeter. In doing so, they may facilitate communication that could potentially lead to unauthorized access or data leakage, especially if proper security measures are not in place.

Sensitive information might be at risk if communication over a satellite connection is intercepted or inadequately secured. Organizations must balance the need for remote connectivity with the imperative to protect their data, especially in environments governed by strict compliance regulations and data protection laws.

In contrast, while cost implications, management challenges, and compatibility with Tanium software are valid considerations, they are less critical than the potential for sensitive data exposure, which directly impacts the organization's security posture and compliance obligations.
