Overview

Protect delivers proactive protection to block malicious attacks on endpoints using native operating system and third-party controls at the speed and scale of Tanium across your environment.

Policy

Configuration for a specific application containing settings for particular policy type. Protect supports Anti-malware, AppLocker, Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET), Firewall, and Software Restriction policies. Policies are targeted at computer groups.

Rule

Computer group

Defined in the Administration section of Tanium Console. You can target enforcement of policies to one or more computer groups for which you have management rights.

Enforcement

An enforcement occurs when a policy is successfully applied to a computer group. Following are definitions of the three possible enforcement states:

Enforced

A policy has been successfully enforced. All rules and configurations of the policy are in effect on the targeted endpoint.

Partially enforced

A higher priority policy of the same type is overriding this policy. See the enforcement state reason for more information.

Unenforced

The policy is not in effect on the targeted endpoint. See the enforcement state reason for more information.
