The Tanium application must restrict the ability of individuals to use information systems to launch organization-defined Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against other information systems.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The Tanium Action Approval feature provides a two-person integrity control mechanism designed to achieve a high-level of security and reduce the possibility of error for critical operations and DoS conditions. When this feature is enabled, an action configured by one Tanium console user will require a second Tanium console user with a role of Action Approver (or higher) to approve the action before it is deployed to targeted computers.
