Who is responsible for maintaining any network controls not included in the Tanium Cloud infrastructure?

The responsibility for maintaining any network controls not included in the Tanium Cloud infrastructure falls to the customer. In cloud deployments, while service providers like Tanium ensure that their infrastructure is secure and compliant, customers still retain the responsibility for securing their applications, data, and any additional network controls that they implement or require.

This division of responsibility is a fundamental aspect of the shared responsibility model in cloud services. Customers must manage their own network security configurations, access controls, and other relevant security measures not covered by the cloud provider. Such controls may include firewalls, intrusion detection systems, or other network-level protections tailored to the customer’s unique environment and compliance requirements.

While partners, Tanium, third-party vendors, and network administrators can assist with these controls or provide guidance and tools, the ultimate responsibility resides with the customer to ensure that their specific network needs and security measures are adequately addressed. This ensures that the organization maintains a secure and compliant network in conjunction with the Tanium Cloud infrastructure.
