The Tanium Module server must be installed on a separate system.
Unauthorized access to the Tanium Server is protected by disabling the Module Server service on the Tanium Server and by configuring the Module Server on a separate system. When X509 smartcard cer...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium Server http directory and sub-directories must be restricted with appropriate permissions.
Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is based on the notion that individual users are "owners" of objects and therefore have discretion over who should be authorized to access the object and in which...Rule Medium Severity -
The permissions on the Tanium Server registry keys must be restricted to only the Tanium service account and the [Tanium Admins] group.
Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is based on the notion that individual users are "owners" of objects and therefore have discretion over who should be authorized to access the object and in which...Rule Medium Severity -
All Active Directory accounts synchronized with Tanium for non-privileged functions must be non-privileged domain accounts.
Tanium has the ability to synchronize with Active Directory for Tanium account management. Tanium advises that all replicated accounts for non-privileged level functions should be non-privileged do...Rule Medium Severity -
The SSLHonorCipherOrder must be configured to disable weak encryption algorithms on the Tanium Server.
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards ...Rule Medium Severity -
The SSLCipherSuite must be configured to disable weak encryption algorithms on the Tanium Server.
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards ...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium max_soap_sessions_total setting must be explicitly enabled to limit the number of simultaneous sessions.
Application management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions that utilize an application. Limiting the number of allowed users and sessions per user is helpful in li...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium soap_max_keep_alive setting must be explicitly enabled to limit the number of simultaneous sessions.
Application management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions that utilize an application. Limiting the number of allowed users and sessions per user is helpful in li...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium Detect Local Directory Source must be configured to restrict access to only authorized maintainers of Intel.
An IOC stream is a series or ""stream"" of intel that are imported from a vendor based on a subscription service or manually downloaded and placed in a folder. Detect can be configured to retrieve ...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium documentation identifying recognized and trusted SCAP sources must be maintained.
NIST validated SCAP XML documents are provided from several possible sources such as DISA, NIST, and the other non-government entities. These documents are used as the basis of compliance definitio...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application must be configured in a High-Availability (HA) setup to ensure minimal loss of data and minimal disruption to mission processes in the event of a system failure.
Failure to a known state can address safety or security in accordance with the mission/business needs of the organization. Failure to a known secure state helps prevent a loss of confidentiality, i...Rule Medium Severity -
The bandwidth consumption for the Tanium Application server must be limited.
DoS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot accomplish its mission or must operate at degraded capacity. In the case ...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application must set an absolute timeout for sessions.
Automatic session termination addresses the termination of user-initiated logical sessions in contrast to the termination of network connections that are associated with communications sessions (i....Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium application service must be protected from being stopped by a non-privileged user.
DoS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot accomplish its mission or must operate at degraded capacity. This require...Rule Medium Severity -
The Tanium documentation identifying recognized and trusted Intel streams must be maintained.
An IOC stream is a series or stream of IOCs that are imported from a vendor based on a subscription service. An IOC stream can be downloaded manually or on a scheduled basis. The items in an IOC st...Rule Medium Severity -

The Tanium application must provide an immediate warning to the SA and ISSO (at a minimum) when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75% of repository maximum audit record storage capacity.
If security personnel are not notified immediately upon storage volume utilization reaching 75%, they are unable to plan for storage capacity expansion.Rule Medium Severity
