Overview
Tanium provides endpoint management and security software that gives IT and security teams real-time visibility and control over computers, servers, and cloud endpoints at enterprise scale. Founded in 2007, the company uses a peer-to-peer architecture to query endpoints without heavy infrastructure. Andreessen Horowitz participated from Series E onward alongside IVP, TPG, and Salesforce Ventures in later rounds. Tanium has remained private with reported multi-billion valuations and profitability uncommon in venture-backed security.
