Operating System Patching...Scary, Right? It Shouldn’t Be.

It has been around since the day of the first operating system, and it will always be a task that everyone needs to pay attention to: Patching.

Don’t Let Typical Security Events Slow You Down: A PuTTY Example

If you work with Windows and Unix/Linux platforms, no doubt you are familiar with PuTTY, one of the more ubiquitous tools found on many administrator and developer workstations.

Take the Fear Out of Change: What Windows 10 Migration Questions Must You Answer?

General support and updates for Windows 7 will end as of January 14, 2020, which means security updates end after this date, as well, opening your organisation up to potential vulnerabilities. This represents a great opportunity to simplify your workstation estate, rid your organisation of some of the technical debt accrued over the years and use the improved native security stack made available by Microsoft in Windows 10, including such features as antivirus, host-based IPS, data-loss prevention, code-signing and OS/Hardware security integration.

Windows 10 Upgrades and Servicing Made Easy With Tanium

General support and updates for Windows 7 will end as of January 14, 2020. Like any major OS transition, this is not a small undertaking for most organizations, and typically requires months if not a year or more of planning, testing, and training, plus the time to actually perform the migration.

We are excited to announce the launch of Tanium User Research, a new research program that gives our User Experience team the opportunity to learn directly from the people who secure, control and manage IT assets.
