Enhancing Security Operations: Filigran’s Strategic Integration with Tanium’s Security Platform

As cyber threats become more sophisticated and frequent, organizations face mounting challenges in converting vast amounts of threat intelligence into actionable security measures. The integration between OpenCTI and Tanium provides a cutting-edge solution that helps automate and accelerate threat detection and response, making security operations more efficient and effective.

OpenCTI has quickly become one of the fastest-growing Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIP), helping organizations maximize the return on their threat intelligence investments. As an open-source platform, OpenCTI has gained significant traction among enterprises and government agencies for its ability to structure, organize, automate and disseminate threat intelligence while supporting associated workflows.

Tanium brings the leading endpoint security and IT operations solution. Its unique architecture provides real-time visibility and control across all endpoints, making it an essential solution for security operations teams. The Tanium Threat Response module is particularly effective for threat hunting, detection, and incident response across the enterprise.

About Tanium

Tanium is the global leader in Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM), known for its ability to provide real-time visibility and control across complex IT environments. Founded in 2007, Tanium has revolutionized how organizations secure and manage their networks by offering a scalable, high-performance platform that simplifies IT operations and enhances security.

The company’s mission is to empower enterprises and government agencies with the tools needed to gain complete control of their endpoint environments, respond to security threats instantly, and drive operational efficiencies at scale. With its unique architecture, Tanium enables organizations to manage millions of endpoints in real time from a single interface, providing powerful insights that help protect against security vulnerabilities and optimize IT processes.

Tanium’s solutions are particularly valued for their speed, scalability, and ease of integration. By combining endpoint visibility, threat detection, and incident response into a unified AEM platform, Tanium helps organizations stay ahead of threats while ensuring operational efficiency across their IT infrastructure.

Automating Threat Intelligence with OpenCTI: From Detection to Protection

The integration between OpenCTI and Taniumʼs Threat Response module simplifies the way organizations handle threat intelligence and response. By feeding curated threat intelligence directly into Tanium, OpenCTI enhances threat detection and enables immediate protection by blocking identified threats across all endpoints. Moreover, OpenCTI can automatically upload new threat indicators, triggering immediate scans and ensuring continuous defense against the latest threats.

A standout feature of this integration is Tanium’s ability to implement YARA (Yet Another Recursive Acronym) rules sources from OpenCTI. This capability, unique among many EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) solutions, allows for more advanced pattern matching and malware detection.

Additionally, the bi-directional nature of the integration adds further value. When Tanium detects a threat, it automatically exports the threat as a case in OpenCTI, enabling analysts to conduct thorough investigations and determine the appropriate response—all within a single platform. This streamlined workflow drastically improves both investigation efficiency and response effectiveness.

Streamlining Breach Attack Simulation with OpenBAS

Beyond threat intelligence integration, Tanium customers can now leverage Filigran’s OpenBAS platform for advanced breach attack simulation. Traditional Breach Attack Simulation (BAS) platforms often require the deployment of proprietary agents across an organization’s infrastructure, a process that can be time-consuming and resource-intensive.

Filigran has transformed breach attack simulation through its partnership with Tanium. By utilizing the existing Tanium endpoint clients, OpenBAS enables Tanium users to launch sophisticated attack simulations within minutes, without the need for additional agent deployment. This integration allows organizations to implement sophisticated attack simulations using their existing infrastructure, eliminating the traditional complexity of BAS deployments. Tanium customers gain immediate access to robust simulation capabilities that integrate seamlessly with their security stack, allowing them to validate their defenses against real-world attack scenarios and make data-driven security decisions.

Also, OpenBAS can assess Tanium Threat Response coverage and detection rate of the payloads and attacks executed by the platform, thanks to a dedicated collector. It allows an organization to better understand what is covered and not covered by Tanium, as well as detection use cases desired based on their threat landscape and latest purple team activities.

Conclusion

Thanks to these strategic integrations, Tanium customers now have access to a comprehensive security ecosystem that enhances threat detection, response, and simulation capabilities. OpenCTI transforms threat intelligence into automated detection and response actions, while OpenBAS enables immediate security validation capabilities – all leveraging their existing Tanium investment. Together, these integrations enable organizations to better understand their threat landscape, enhance their protection through current threat intelligence, and validate their readiness to respond to the latest attacks. This powerful combination positions organizations to stay ahead of emerging threats while maximizing the value of their security investments.
