Sponsor Co-Led Labs

For the first time ever, Tanium hosted hands-on labs that were co-led by Tanium partners. These sponsor co-led labs were available both in-person and virtually and feature SMEs from Avanade, ServiceNow, PwC, and AHEAD.

Dive into the world of cutting-edge security by integrating Microsoft Security Copilot with Tanium and ServiceNow. This hands-on lab will guide participants through detecting incidents, automating ticket creation, performing initial triage, and remediating security issues efficiently. By the end of this lab, participants will be equipped to enhance their organization’s security posture through streamlined workflows and powerful integrations.

Pre-Req(s): Prior experience with Tanium Administration, ServiceNow, and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (MDE)

Sponsor Co-Led by Avanade

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)

Sponsor Co-Led by ServiceNow

In this lab, participants will get an understanding of the Vulnerability Response Framework and architecture supported by Tanium and ServiceNow. Participants will then configure the needed Vulnerability Response app integrations, as available in the ServiceNow store. Lastly, participants will work on additional configuration activities based on best practices and experiences we have discovered during customer implementations.

Pre-Req(s): Administrative ServiceNow knowledge; Administrative knowledge of Tanium; Familiarity with vulnerability and patch management

Sponsor Co-Led by AHEAD
