Tanium today announced that it has been recognized for the third consecutive year as a Leader and second consecutive year as a Fast Mover in the newly released GigaOm Radar for Patch Management.

The GigaOm report explores the evolving landscape of patch management, providing a forward-looking assessment of 27 of the top vendor solutions in the sector to equip IT decision-makers with the information they need to select the right patch management solution for their unique business needs.

"Unpatched vulnerabilities remain the underlying cause of many cyber-attacks, elevating patch management from a technical issue to a board-level priority. As threats grow increasingly sophisticated and frequent, organizations often struggle with siloed operations and a lack of cohesive strategy in their approach to patch management,” said Matt Quinn, CTO, Tanium. “With automation at the heart of our platform, Tanium addresses these challenges, breaking down silos to enable real-time patch deployment and ensure comprehensive security across the entire IT infrastructure. We’re thrilled once again to be recognized by GigaOm as a Leader in this space.”

GigaOm notes that Tanium Patch “stands out due to its unique architecture and comprehensive capabilities,” and that the Tanium platform “caters to the needs of large enterprises with complex IT environments and a strong focus on security and compliance.”

“Leveraging its linear chain architecture, Tanium provides real-time visibility and control over endpoints, facilitating rapid patch deployment and remediation while minimizing overhead. The platform's inventory management ensures accurate and up-to-date information on hardware, software, and patch status across all endpoints, further streamlining patching processes,” said GigaOm analyst Whit Walters, author of the report. “Tanium Patch also shines in its patch lifecycle management, offering automated workflows, customizable policies, and seamless integration with vulnerability management for a holistic security approach.”

The report also highlights Tanium as a “versatile solution for complex IT environments” given the platform’s “broad platform and application support, extending to various operating systems, third-party applications, and even IoT devices, virtual machines, containers, and cloud-based infrastructure.”
