In this lab, participants will learn how to protect their organization by combining the power of Tanium’s Threat Response and Connect modules & the OpenCTI platform. Participants will gain an understanding of how detection capabilities within Tanium can be extended using 3rd party intelligence. Participants will configure an integration between Tanium and an OpenCTI instance and see how intelligence and alerts can flow between the two systems and learn why that is beneficial. Finally, participants will learn how Threat Response helps to contextualize and investigate alerts raised by alternate intelligence feeds.

Pre-Req(s): Administrative knowledge of Tanium Threat Response and Connect; Basic knowledge/understanding of OpenCTI platform

This lab will showcase a practical example of how to tie together Tanium functionality focused on the Zero Trust integration with Microsoft Entra ID. Tanium’s tie-in to Microsoft’s Entra ID allows for nearly any Tanium question to be used as a reason to block access to an endpoint. In this lab, participants will move from the overview of this process using Tanium to automatically remediate an endpoint.

Blocking logins via the Microsoft-Tanium integration with Entra ID is the start of a process to protect your enterprise, but it’s important to be able to quickly remediate the conditions which would cause a user not to be able to log in. This lab will walk through a scenario where using Automate and Enforce to remediate a condition which blocks user logins. We will also discuss how this process can be incorporated with other toolsets, like ServiceNow.

Pre-Req(s): General familiarity of Tanium functionality – Enforce Remediation; General familiarity of Microsoft Entra ID – User and Device Control

Using the Tanium Gateway is key to building integrations with external systems and enriching data in systems, such as a SIEM. Whether participants are looking for data such as applicable patches, open vulnerabilities, or current configurations, Tanium Gateway makes these integrations seamless. However, many users struggle to implement more advanced workflows between these systems and Tanium.

In this lab, participants will see how Tanium integrates and enriches data into a standard SIEM. Participants will also learn how to use the power of Tanium Automate with Tanium Gateway to execute advanced workflows to affect change on their endpoints.

Pre-Req(s): Working Knowledge of the Tanium Platform, knowledge of APIs, and knowledge of Powershell or Python

Back by popular demand, this year’s session will focus on advanced targeting techniques for limited scope automation jobs. Go from automating your most common tasks to automating break/fix and specialized work flows. Participants will learn various techniques for building questions that can be used to get the exact data you need to target specific endpoints for changes.

Pre-Req(s): Basic understanding of Tanium; Six months experience recommended

In this lab, participants will learn best practices and possibilities for building out Tanium to support distributed or federated organizations. Participants will learn how to break down roles in Tanium to give small groups in their organization the power to use Tanium on the systems that are under their control without affecting other entities while maintaining the valuable top level visibility that Tanium is known for.

Pre-Req(s): A basic understanding of user and computer administration in Tanium

Many IT Operations teams spend countless hours submitting change requests for their patching activities. Imagine a world where IT Ops staff can save time by opening changes for their patch activities in ServiceNow and have them be scheduled automatically after they are approved. The future is now! In this hands-on lab, participants will have access to their own Tanium and ServiceNow environments to perform an automated monthly patching cycle orchestrated by ServiceNow.

Pre-Req(s): Basic understanding of Tanium Platform, Patch and Deploy; Basic understanding of ServiceNow (Change Management concepts and Flow Designer knowledge)

This lab will guide participants through real world investigations using Tanium Investigate. Participants will use Tanium’s Investigate Workbench to locate, close-with, and remediate incidents and operations events. Using Investigate, participants will orient on threats and IT events, then rapidly collect data to gain an information advantage. Remediate, reinstall, remove, recover, report, or resume prescribed lab activities, participants will rapidly matriculate through the Investigate Workbench to make the right decision in time and on target. This lab will leverage real-world (sanitized) customer scenarios to guide participants through Investigate workflows.

Why wait for a vendor to create new functionality to solve your business challenge? Tanium is pretty comprehensive, but we can't predict every question you might want to ask, or make every change to your endpoints you might need to! However, by writing your own sensors and packages, you can take advantage of Tanium's speed and scale to solve the unique challenges that your business faces, just like many of our customers already have. In this lab, we'll walk participants through some of the more advanced techniques for creating custom content and help take advantage of the Tanium platform to solve these more complex business challenges. If you've been developing content for Tanium for a while, this is the lab that helps you take it to the next level!

Pre-Req(s): Basic Tanium experience, asking questions and deploying actions. Some prior knowledge and experience of building custom code, ideally but not necessarily for Tanium; any blockers or issues you've encountered may well be answered in this lab.
