Hello, everyone.
My name is Tim Brantner with IBM Cloud.
Today I'd like to show you how to take advantage of Tanium Comply's integration into IBM Cloud Security and Compliance Center, or "SCC" for short.
What we're going to do is solve the problem of providing a more complete security and compliance posture in one view using multiple tools.
But first, a little about SCC.
It provides you a unified, single pane of glass experience for all of your security compliance postures.
It provides you continuous compliance monitoring against predefined profiles based on security best practices and industry compliance standards.
In addition, it provides preventative enforcement of secure configuration of your IBM Cloud services to proactively prevent misconfigurations of cloud resources.
And then to top it all off, we provide hybrid multi-cloud support so you can scan multiple clouds as well as on-prem resources, for security best practices.
Now, what is Tanium?
The Tanium platform unifies security and IT operation teams with a single view of critical endpoint data in real time,
all through a single platform and agent.
Trusted by half of the Fortune 100 and largest government networks,
Tanium provides a comprehensive and high fidelity source of truth
so that organizations see every endpoint, whether that be hybrid cloud, containerized, on-prem, remote, and can make informed decisions in real time.
IBM Cloud and Tanium working together was a natural partnership to allow for the best of both worlds to bring the power of our joint solutions together.
With this integration, customers can deepen their capabilities for reducing the possibility of a breach or a security event.
Now, IBM Cloud is becoming the most secure cloud provider, making security and compliance easier and more secure by default.
Tanium does a great job of discovering unknown assets in a large scale enterprise,
like finding an unmanaged laptop with malware, or improving your patch success rate within minutes.
So how does integration actually work?
Here's a diagram of what you're about to see in this video.
Now I'm going to be playing the role of the compliance engineer that knows IBM Cloud and Tanium.
And the problem we're trying to solve is seeing compliance results from IBM Cloud and Tanium in one dashboard.
Okay.
So the first thing that I'm going to go do is go to cloud.ibm.com, just log in to my IBM cloud account.
Now, there are several ways that you can access IBM Cloud Security and Compliance Center.
The first way is going to be through our hamburger menu.
And what you're going to do is just scroll down to "Security and Compliance". It's right next to Satellite and VMware.
The second way is through a widget that's on a pre-built dashboard for a security focal.
And the other way is to go up to the Manage and Security Compliance menu item.
OK, so now I'm just going to go click on "Security and Compliance", and that brings me into the Security Compliance Center.
Now the first thing I'm going to go do is click on integrations because we want to set up Tanium.
So I'm going to go down to the Tanium tile, click on Connect, and I'm going to fill out the connection name.
This could be any name.
The registration URL is just the URL that you're going to be going to for your Tanium instance.
Then I'll click on "next".
There's two result formats, "Upscale" or "Native".
For this instance, Tanium is in Native, so I'm going to click on Native and click on Connect.
Now the result is a service ID, an API key that allows me to have a secure connection between Tanium and Security Compliance Center.
I'm going to download that and also copy it to clipboard, but I'm going to be saving that to put into Tanium later.
OK, so now that I've got that done, I'm going to go and click on "Configure" and go to "Scopes" because I need to put a place where I want all the information to go.
This is in our concept of scopes.
Scopes is basically just the resources of where I want things to go.
I'm first going to create a scope.
I'm going to give it a name.
I'm going to click on Next, go to the environment, scroll down to "on-prem", and then in the next menu item, I'm going to go ahead and click on the "Connect third party resources".
And then a new menu pops up that shows Tanium.
There's a couple of connections that I have, but I'm going to just connect the the one that I've just built.
And then click on next.
Now, in this next one, we usually have a collector that is installed, but in this instance, Tanium is the collector.
So we don't have to do this part.
So all I have to do now is just click on Next.
And now I just review all the details that I just put in and click on Create.
What that does is create the scope and it gives me a URL that I want to point Tanium at
and to use that API key and service ID in order to securely communicate from Tanium into IBM Cloud Security and Compliance Center.
I'm going to copy the URL and bring that over into Tanium along with my API key and then finish the integration part in Tanium.
Okay, that's it.
In this video, you were able to see Tanium comply as integration into IBM Cloud Security and Compliance Center.
Thanks for watching.
