TANIUM PROFILE
Finding the endpoint
Tanium’s Converged Endpoint Management solution is giving customers much- needed protection from security threats, as well as saving CIOs money. Todd Palmer, Tanium’s SVP of global partner sales, is on a mission to spread the word in Europe.
Todd Palmer is enjoying being back on the road again. The senior vice president of global partner sales at Converged Endpoint Management (XEM) solutions provider Tanium has been on a mini European tour recently, taking in several European countries, including England, where the company is looking to expand rapidly in the coming years. After the years of COVID, where he was grounded in the US, Todd is racking up the air miles again – he reckons he is on the road about 80% of the time – and is relishing meeting people again and spreading the word about Tanium and how the company’s XEM solution can help businesses. This was showcased recently at Tanium’s Converge World Tour, which kicked off at the London Landmark Hotel on April 18, and showcased Tanium’s XEM solution, which Todd says is needed more than ever by businesses now. “Over the past 12 months the level of threat has quintupled; the threat to companies now is amazing,” he says. “Cyber threats are here to stay, and we’ve got to learn how to manage them and run profitable businesses
that are still open for partners, co-workers and contractors to be able to work with and communicate with you but remain secure from attack.” This is where Tanium comes in, providing a converged solution that integrates IT and security in one easy-to-use platform – something that Todd says is not done by others in the sector. Converging on threats “The cybersecurity industry is a collection of individual point products and it’s been that way for a long time,” Todd says. “There’s been a threat and a company has come up with a fantastic individual point product to solve that specific issue.” However, while this may solve a specific problem, it doesn’t make a business more secure from new threats. “If you look at businesses out there, I would venture that over the last five years, their cybersecurity budget has quintupled, yet many don’t feel any safer today than they did before. It’s because it’s flawed; the individual point products don’t integrate or operate together, there’s no context. In a typical security threat
