How Tanium Helped Whirlpool Succeed

Before Tanium we were always behind the curve with virus definitions. We were always playing catch up. It wasn’t unusual for 5–10% of our devices to be out of compliance with our policy. Once we deployed Tanium, our average went down to less than 1% almost overnight.

A Single Source of Truth That Unifies Teams

Like many multinational businesses, Whirlpool used a variety of different security tools in a lot of different places, creating gaps in visibility, accountability and resilience. The team turned to Tanium to help them find a single source of truth for their environment, uniting teams on a single platform for endpoint management and security.

Unifying Teams on a Single Platform

Prior to Tanium, disparate endpoint security tools could either report on problems or manage problems – but not both. With Tanium, Whirlpool now has a single platform to discover, manage and act on issues across the environment.

Complete Visibility and Compliance

Thanks to Tanium's real-time visibility across the entire network, Whirlpool discovered a compliance problem the team didn't even know existed and was able to remediate it instantly.

Improved Security Hygiene

In the days before Tanium, security teams would manually pull a report from their antivirus tools and send out emails asking people to update their systems. Today, scans and remediation responses are automated across the entire network.
