Convergence of expertise Tanium’s Converge World Tour stopped off in London recently to spread the word about converged endpoint management and the solutions the company can provide to partners and customers, as well as the potential of developing technologies such as AI to bring further opportunities.

World tours are usually the preserve of pop stars such as Taylor Swift and aren’t generally associated with security and endpoint management solutions providers. But for selected partners and customers of converged endpoint management (XEM) provider Tanium in London on May 21, they got to see the latest stop in the company’s Converge World Tour.

At the conference, attendees heard from a range of Tanium customers and partners, company leadership and industry luminaries about security best practices, industry trends and had the opportunity to learn more about new autonomous capabilities like Tanium Automate, which is designed to empower customers to automate complex tasks at speed and scale.
