Tanium endpoint files must be protected from file encryption actions.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

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