Endpoint Chaos to Control: How Tanium, ServiceNow, and Optiv Managed Services Are Changing the Game

In today’s hybrid and distributed IT world, the old notion of a security perimeter is gone. Laptops, mobile devices, and cloud workloads are everywhere — and attackers know it. Endpoints are now the most targeted attack surface. And while many organizations invest in detection tools, the real challenge lies in achieving real-time visibility, continuous compliance, and efficient vulnerability management.

That’s where the power of Tanium, ServiceNow, and Optiv Managed Services together comes in.

Why This Partnership Matters

Modern enterprises face a problem: IT Operations and Security teams often work in silos, leading to inconsistent data, slow remediation, and manual processes that burn resources. By uniting these teams through a single ecosystem, organizations gain:

• Tanium’s real-time endpoint visibility — a living inventory of every asset, plus vulnerability identification and prioritization.

• ServiceNow’s automation and workflows — the ability to connect Tanium’s intelligence with enterprise-wide IT and SecOps processes, all through the CMDB.

• Optiv Managed Services’ ongoing optimization — experts who ensure the technology runs continuously, outcomes improve quarter after quarter, and compliance never slips.

  
  

How It All Works Together

• Identify: Tanium discovers vulnerabilities across endpoints in real time.

• Prioritize: Risks are scored and fed into ServiceNow workflows.

• Remediate: Automated patching, remediation, and change requests execute at scale.

• Validate: ServiceNow workflows verify remediation and close the loop with CMDB data.

• Comply: Optiv experts ensure processes remain audit-ready, optimized, and aligned with business needs.
