Tanium

Tanium's peer-to-peer technology lets organizations continuously scan all endpoints in a network to detect vulnerabilities and unmanaged devices. The technology is important as companies look to ramp up their security and management of endpoint devices, which Tanium helps discover and secure. Tanium secured part of its significant rounds of financing from TPG Capital, which will now own a 51 percent stake in McAfee, and could prove an interesting acquisition target for the vendor to help bolster its endpoint security strategy. Tanium, however, would also be an expensive buy, with its latest round of funding valuing it at around $3.5 billion.
