Tanium, Inc.

So, to kick things off, Yael, can you briefly take us through your professional journey so far? We are eager to learn about your journey.

Sure, so I have recently taken on a role at Tanium, which is a cybersecurity AI first autonomous IT company.

And the role is now in AI leader transformation and AI adoption, working very closely with our IT team.

I've been with Tanium now for about six years, all things leader, talent development and skill growth, including succession planning, et cetera.

Prior to that, I was doing similar work with sales and sales enablements team at Twitter.

My work has always had a true thread, which is around enabling people and humans to do the best work of their careers and to really be able to see organizations as the that that the strength of an organization is how efficient, how effective and how focused the leaders and the people can be.

Can you catch it when it's confidently wrong? It's just speed.

And speed in the wrong direction could arguably be worse than being slow.

In 2025, the two companies paired up for a new AI that campaign to advertise Microsoft's co-pilot feature.

So did the AI send this out? In the same year, Microsoft also announced that Best Buy had added Microsoft Defender for Endpoint to connect with its existing Tanium endpoint management solution.

This would be a really rubbish scam.

Email scams usually prey on technology ill-informed elderly folks.

So we got to see what that looks like.

Will these tools be able to keep up with the people that have come on the show, like Tanium and some of these other places that do device lifecycle management, be able to have something that holds benefit? I was at Black Hat.

Didn't I even talk about that? Rod and I were at Black Hat and Defcon, and there were more AI companies you could shake a stick at.

And everybody was talking, but nobody was saying nothing.

For MSPs and security providers, that reinforces the potential value of specialized expertise, particularly as customers struggle to keep up with increasingly complex threats.

And finally, Tanium is extending its endpoint management capabilities to NVIDIA's local AI infrastructure.

The collaboration includes support for systems such as DGX Spark and RTX Spark with capabilities for inventory, patching, compliance, and visibility into AI workloads.

Tanium is also developing ways for IT teams to monitor and control AI agents running in those systems.

As AI compute moves beyond the data center and into desk-side systems, managing those machines as part of the broader endpoint estate is becoming an increasingly important operational challenge.

Later today on in the channel, we sit down with OpenText's Chief Product Officer and Chief Technology Officer, Shannon Bell, to talk about the company's approach to creating the contact and information layer for agentic AI, how partners can build services around and using its platforms, and what OpenText learned from its own AI journey so far.

Microsoft is testing a new AI-powered security system that uses more than 100 specialized AI agents to identify software vulnerabilities, including weaknesses that traditional security tools might overlook.

The system, known as codename MDASH, is being developed for security testing, with cybersecurity company Tanium among a limited group of private preview partners.

Rather than relying on a single model, MDASH brings together multiple AI models and specialized agents to investigate potential security issues across software systems.

The goal is to uncover complex vulnerabilities involving software logic, authorization, and connections between different files.

Tanium has tested the system against its own production codebase, combining AI-driven scanning with additional automated checks and expert human review.

Once vulnerabilities were confirmed, the findings were directed into the company's secure development process.

The distinction is important.

Um-

Which for what it's worth is what CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Tanium, Fleet-

Yep

... have all gone ahead and done just for-

at a time when technology costs and utilization and risks are becoming much bigger executive issues.

Steve Daheb joined Flexera as CMO earlier this year, leading global marketing, product marketing, demand generation, and brand strategy after senior roles across companies including Oracle, Citrix, Tanium, and Unifor.

Steve, welcome to CMO Journeys.

Christian, thank you so much for having me.

management.

There's still Omnisa, Workplace, And Tanium has a very good solution for endpoint management as well.

But the majority of people that I talk to are either in Intune or on their way to Intune.

It's extremely popular.
