Introduction: Core SCCM Content

Systems administrators can use the Tanium Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) Content to provide useful inventory and state information for a wide variety of endpoint management, security, and risk reduction use cases. Tanium SCCM Content answers questions such as:

  • What is the Health of the SCCM Client?
  • What is the compliance status for each DCM baseline?
  • What is the role of the SCCM Server?
  • When was the last software update and what was the source of that update?
  • What are all the SCCM Client Components and what are their states?

The Tanium platform is well-suited to gathering this sort of information, and the SCCM Content solution is intended to bootstrap the most critical questions.
