Tanium, the provider of unified endpoint management and security built for the world’s most demanding IT environments, announced that it has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud to help organizations accelerate the transformation to distributed business operations. This new offering, sold by Tanium, will help enterprises detect, investigate, and scope advanced, long-lived attacks (APTs), and includes an integration between Tanium’s Threat Response and Chronicle, Google Cloud’s security analytics platform.
According to research from Booz Allen Hamilton, the average dwell time for APTs in the enterprise hovers between 200 and 250 days. The longer these threats go undetected, the farther they are able to spread, requiring additional investigation in order to successfully remediate. Even as the average dwell time drops across attack vectors, APTs continue to evade traditional defenses, compromising systems and data across an enterprise. Overall acceleration towards more distributed workforces and cloud computing increases the threat vector as more endpoints run outside of traditional network perimeters and defenses.

“With Tanium and Google Cloud, customers don’t have to make difficult tradeoffs between the quality, breadth, timeliness, or storage cost of their security telemetry,” said Sunil Potti, General Manager and Vice President of Cloud Security at Google Cloud. “Advanced persistent threats require a sophisticated approach to detection and response. That starts at the endpoint, where most compromise activities begin. With telemetry sourced from Tanium’s comprehensive endpoint security approach, customers have the data they need to detect and investigate post-compromise activity to accelerate remediation and prevent future intrusion.”
“The joint solution with Chronicle gives Tanium customers access to massively scalable analytics and investigation capabilities far beyond that of other endpoint detection and response point tools,” said Orion Hindawi, co-founder and co-CEO of Tanium. “This integration enables our customers to investigate APTs and other threats from the moment of detection back to the moment of compromise for comprehensive response and remediation.”
