Tanium, a leader in Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM), announced Tanium Ask Agent, its first agentic AI experience designed to handle intelligent QA, provide insights and confidently execute endpoint changes – all from a simple prompt.

This breakthrough innovation, harnessing real-time endpoint intelligence, dramatically improves operational efficiency and threat response. The Ask Agent combines continuous telemetry, contextual awareness and autonomous decision-making for real-time insights and actions. This ensures that every endpoint remains secure and operational, with human-in-the-loop oversight for control and accountability.

“IT needs agentic AI – agents that understand each specific IT environment, provide thoughtful change management and that automate comprehensive and intelligent QA with automatic rollback if failures occur,” said Orion Hindawi, co-founder and executive chairman at Tanium. “AI that learns from what’s worked for other environments, steers you away from risky changes and partners with you to build resilience. That’s Tanium AI, and it begins with Ask Agent.”

Ask Agent introduces a new paradigm in operational efficiency by integrating AI-driven workflows directly into the Tanium platform. From data discovery and software management to dashboard summarization and embedded documentation, Ask Agent enables administrators to investigate, troubleshoot and remediate issues in a single streamlined experience.

Customers using Ask Agent have expressed strong enthusiasm for its capabilities, and their feedback highlights the tangible value it’s already delivering across industries.

“What I anticipate will set Ask Agent apart is how it understands our environment and makes contextually aware recommendations aligned to product best practices – it advises, adapts and gives us an easy button to take action,” said Matthew Major, information security engineer at Myriad Genetics.

“Tanium Ask Agent makes AI practical for our team. It brings real-time expertise through natural language, removing the need to learn complex queries and allowing us to focus on delivering solutions,” said Shareef Ellis, IT operations manager at PDS Health.

“I was excited to learn that we can interact with the Ask Agent in our native languages — whether it’s Spanish, German or Japanese. As a team with many non-native English speakers, this feature makes the console more user-friendly, and I expect will save our team hours every week,” said Jose Luis Ruiz Ruiz, senior director endpoint automation at JLL.

Tanium Ask Agent is available to eligible Tanium Cloud customers in the U.S. Commercial and UK regions as part of the Tanium™ Core Platform. To enable access, customers must activate both “Tanium AI Features” and “Tanium Ask Agent” within the Platform Settings of the Tanium Console.
