building into our platform. It has been very well received by the market and we’re receiving a lot of great feedback for this from those that already use it, specifically from large enterprise customers. “We’re seeing a lot of momentum on that. We’re obviously very excited about what we’re going to announce and finally deploy in November.” AI influence Tanium’s investment into AI reflects the influence the company believes it will have on the market in the coming years – and Tony is confident it will present plenty of opportunities to develop revenue streams. “We believe that those AI capabilities will double the size of our market, so it will bring us opportunities for a lot more growth,” he says. “Not only will AI provide more automated solutions for partners, it will also require more security solutions as cybercriminals look to exploit its potential.” One area of potential is Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant. Tanium are long-standing partners with Microsoft. “Many of our joint customers are preparing for the AI power future,” Tony says. “When you look at Tanium and Copilot together, they want to exploit all that it offers to help become faster, more efficient and reduce risk.” Positive outlook Overall, Tony is positive about the prospects for the sector – and an indicator of that is the consolidation in the market currently as businesses look to grow. Investment is also coming into the sector, another good indicator for the strength of the market. “There’s a lot of consolidation, and businesses are always looking for best-in-

class platforms and Tanium is front and centre of that,” says Tony. Likewise, as the threats from cyberattacks continue to increase in volume and sophistication, Tanium is well placed to pick up business. “We leverage AI and automation, which means that as threats increase in sophistication, companies are looking for speed and scale in their solutions as those threats can come in seconds,” he says. “That’s why the Tanium message resonates so well with the market in general as we tackle the threats a lot faster than others. “We’re seeing high demand for what we offer from customers, as we offer a platform and much broader solutions to reduce risk that they haven’t got inside the enterprise.” Looking forward Looking towards the end of the year and on into 2025, Tony believes the introduction of AI and automation solutions later this year is going to open a lot more opportunities for the company. “If you look at markets like Europe with a lot of regulation coming up around Dora, it’s increasingly becoming more apparent that we are the platform of choice

for a lot of those customers,” he says. “I see a lot of MSPs moving into our

platform, because we provide an operation for our customers that is faster and more automated than the competition. I think in the next year we’ll see an acceleration of adoption of automation and AI in vulnerability and risk assessment and more broadly in the market.” With the technology moving on apace, and interest in AI and automation rising, the next time the Converge World Tour rolls into town, then clamour for tickets is likely to rival that seen for artists like Taylor Swift.
