Introducing Tanium HuntIQ: Find What Others Miss, Enhance What You Already Own

The most dangerous threats are not the ones that trigger alerts—they are the ones operating silently beneath the detection threshold. In fact, Mandiant’s 2025 M-Trends Report found that 57% of compromised organizations first learned of a breach from an external source, not their own security teams or tools. Despite significant technology investments, sophisticated attackers maintain prolonged access to enterprise environments, evading traditional detection methods. Each undetected breach is a costly ticking clock, risking operational disruption, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties.

Tanium has introduced HuntIQ, a threat hunting solution that combines Tanium’s expert hunters with its platform to detect threats, enhance defenses, and optimize security investments.

Expert-Driven Security Enhancement: The Tanium HuntIQ Advantage

Tanium HuntIQ delivers three important capabilities for urgent security challenges:

Uncovering Hidden Threats

Our expert hunters can help identify sophisticated threats that automated tools miss potentially before damage occurs. Each hunting campaign is designed to strengthen your defenses, whether active threats are found or not. By combining human intuition with Tanium’s real-time visibility, HuntIQ delivers deeper, continuously improving threat detection.

Strengthening Detection and Protection

HuntIQ can transform global threat intelligence into contextual, actionable guidance tailored to your environment. Our research team fuses external threat data with Tanium’s comprehensive telemetry, providing insights and recommendations based on your unique risk profile—not just broad threat trends.

Enhancing Technology Investment

HuntIQ enhances your Tanium investment while increasing security team efficiency. By handling specialized hunting and analysis workloads, we free your team to focus on strategic priorities. Our approach enhances your entire security operation.

The Expert Advantage: Why Human Intuition Matters

Security teams face a dual challenge: increasingly sophisticated threats and limited bandwidth for proactive hunting. Attackers now deliberately design tactics to slip past automated detection, exploiting even small visibility gaps.

Expert threat hunters are positioned to make the critical difference by:

• Recognizing subtle anomalies traditional detection misses
• Understanding normal system behavior, and when it deviates
• Applying attacker methodology to find hidden threats
• Contextualizing findings in ways algorithms cannot
• Developing precise automations to scale human expertise

The Tanium platform offers real-time, comprehensive visibility across every endpoint without sampling gaps, providing an ideal foundation for expert threat hunting. Combined with human expertise, it uncovers threats that automated tools often miss.

Beyond Conventional Approaches: The Tanium HuntIQ Difference

HuntIQ offers a fundamentally different approach than traditional security services:

HuntIQ versus security consulting: Consulting engagements deliver point-in-time assessments. In contrast, HuntIQ is driven by security research, which can provide continuous threat hunting, sophisticated detection strategies, and ongoing platform optimization that adapts to your evolving environment.

HuntIQ versus threat-intelligence feeds: Generic feeds deliver raw information. HuntIQ, on the other hand, can deliver tailored, actionable guidance specific to your environment, creating custom detection capabilities based on your actual risks—not hypothetical threats.

The impact is clear: According to SANS Institute research, 82% of organizations implementing threat hunting saw improvement in attack surface exposure and network hardening, while 44% experienced significant improvements in detection accuracy and reduced false positives. With HuntIQ, you can anticipate reduced attacker dwell time, fewer false positives, and ongoing support that continuously strengthens security posture.

Seamless Integration: Getting Started with HuntIQ

HuntIQ integrates seamlessly into your security operations in three steps:

1. Initial assessment: We evaluate your environment and security priorities to establish a tailored hunting strategy.
2. Regular hunting campaigns: Our experts conduct ongoing campaigns, delivering findings and recommendations specific to your environment.
3. Continuous improvement: Each cycle refines detection, strengthens platform capabilities, and improves your overall security posture.

HuntIQ is now available to Tanium customers.
