GAF Takes Tanium to the Cloud — and Beyond

When roofing and waterproofing manufacturer GAF announced a companywide move to the public cloud, it was already using Tanium on premises for vulnerability monitoring. But the shift was a big one. It included shutting GAF’s primary data center and moving some 5,100 endpoints to the public cloud.

GAF worked with its Tanium account managers to adopt Tanium Cloud, which offers the full functionality of the Tanium platform as a fully managed, cloud-based service. What’s more, Tanium Cloud requires zero customer infrastructure. The result? “We never skipped a beat,” says Jim Pantopicos, GAF’s director of workplace technologies.

By moving to Tanium Cloud, GAF enjoyed nearly 100% compliance with Google’s Chrome browser update, much faster endpoint imaging (20 minutes vs. the previous 2 hours), and improved reporting on — and remediating — known vulnerabilities.
