What does the Tanium Patch module provide?

The Tanium Patch module is designed specifically to facilitate the deployment of patches and updates to software installed across endpoints within an organization’s network. Its primary function is to automate and streamline the patch management process, ensuring that systems remain secure, up-to-date, and compliant with the latest software versions. This is crucial for maintaining cybersecurity as unpatched software can be a major vulnerability.

Through this module, administrators can create patch deployment strategies, assess which endpoints require updates, and monitor the status of deployments, helping to reduce the risk of security breaches and operational issues caused by outdated software. The focus of the module on patching and updating distinguishes it from other functionalities that involve analytics, device configuration, or network monitoring, which are not the primary purpose of the Patch module.
