SV-93459r1_rule Tanium Server files must be excluded from host-based intrusion prevention intervention.

Vulnerability discussion

Similar to any other host-based applications, the Tanium Server is subject to the restrictions other System-level software may place on an operating environment. Antivirus, IPS, Encryption, or other security and management stack software may disallow the Tanium Server from working as expected.https://docs.tanium.com/platform_install/platform_install/reference_host_system_security_exceptions.html.

Check content

Consult with the Tanium System Administrator to determine the HIPS software used on the Tanium Server. Review the settings of the HIPS software. Validate exclusions exist that exclude the Tanium program files from being restricted by HIPS. If exclusions do not exist, this is a finding.

Fix text

Implement exclusion policies within the HIPS software solution to exclude the Tanium Server program files from HIPS intervention.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
