ORLANDO — Day 1 at Tanium Converge 2025 brought two announcements that underscore a broader trend sweeping enterprise security and IT operations: vendors are racing to unify visibility, automate decision-making and reduce operational friction as organizations struggle with increasingly complex endpoint, cloud, and hybrid environments.
Tanium used its annual conference to showcase both new AI-driven platform capabilities and an expanded partnership with ServiceNow, moves that signal how central automation, real-time telemetry and cross-platform interoperability have become in the push toward “autonomous IT.”
ServiceNow partnership: Tighter integration, shared use cases
Tanium announced an expanded partnership with ServiceNow designed to deepen integration between the two companies’ platforms and support shared autonomous IT use cases. The collaboration brings Tanium’s real-time endpoint telemetry into the ServiceNow AI Platform to automate alert triage and enable self-healing workflows. These automations include agent-driven workflows, “zero-touch” patching, and configuration compliance checks, according to the company.
ServiceNow is also using Tanium internally to improve its own IT operations, citing real-time visibility across a mix of on-premises and cloud infrastructure. Tanium data feeds directly into ServiceNow’s configuration management database (CMDB), streamlining security and IT workflows within ServiceNow’s environment.
The partnership reflects a broader industry trend: enterprises are demanding fewer disconnected tools and more automation between the platforms they already rely on. Integrations that combine telemetry (Tanium) with workflow automation (ServiceNow) are becoming core to customers trying to reduce operational overhead.
New AI capabilities and expanded endpoint coverage
Tanium introduced a slate of new platform features that expand its use of AI and broaden endpoint management into OT and mobile environments. The company framed the updates as steps toward fully autonomous IT operations. Key additions include:
Agentic AI expansion:
- Tanium Ask, an AI-driven assistant that surfaces data, summarizes dashboards, and automates tasks like software management and alert investigation.
- Tanium AI agent for ServiceNow, which pulls real-time endpoint details—such as device status and software versions—directly into Now Assist workflows. Administrators can diagnose and take remediation actions from within a ServiceNow chat interface.
OT and mobile endpoint management:
- Tanium is expanding beyond traditional IT endpoints with new capabilities for operational technology, covering devices such as human-machine interfaces and programmable logic controllers. The company also announced management support for Macs, iPhones and iPads, as well as a connector that ingests telemetry from Microsoft Intune.
- Security operations updates:
- Two new features—Tanium Jump Gate, designed to reduce standing access through just-in-time controls, and Tanium HuntIQ, which embeds Tanium experts directly into customer environments—aim to tighten operational discipline and threat detection.
A push toward unified, automated operations
Taken together, the announcements highlight how IT and security teams are increasingly seeking platforms that consolidate visibility, reduce manual effort and support a mix of IT, OT, mobile and cloud environments. Vendors are responding by building tighter integrations across ecosystems and layering in AI assistance to improve speed and accuracy in decision-making.
For Tanium, the dual focus on AI automation and cross-platform integration signals where the company sees the market heading: toward environments where endpoint data, workflow automation and security operations are tightly linked—and where the goal is less about collecting more information and more about taking reliable action at scale.
