Tanium Server processes must be excluded from on-access scan.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Similar to any other host-based applications, the Tanium Server is subject to the restrictions other system-level software may place on an operating environment. Antivirus, IPS, Encryption, or other security and management stack software may disallow the Tanium Server from working as expected. https://docs.tanium.com/client/client/requirements.html#Host_system_security_exceptions
