Tanium Server files must be excluded from on-access antivirus actions.

Rule version TANS-SV-000040 · STIG v1 · 2018-07-09

Discussion

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.

Check

Consult with the Tanium System Administrator to determine the antivirus software used on the Tanium Server.

Review the settings of the antivirus software.

Validate exclusions exist that exclude the Tanium program files from being scanned by antivirus on-access scans.

If exclusions do not exist, this is a finding.

Fix

Implement exclusion policies within the antivirus software solution to prevent on-access scanning of Tanium Server program files.
