Host and network security requirements
Specific ports and processes are needed to run Tanium Containers.
Ports
The following ports are required for Tanium Containers communication.
Source | Destination | Port | Protocol | Purpose |
---|---|---|---|---|

Module Server (loopback) | 17527 | TCP | Internal purposes; not externally accessible |
Configure firewall policies to open ports for Tanium traffic with TCP-based rules instead of application identity-based rules. For example, on a Palo Alto Networks firewall, configure the rules with service objects or service groups instead of application objects or application groups.
For Tanium Cloud ports, see Tanium Cloud Deployment Guide: Host and network security requirements.
