Tanium Server files must be excluded from host-based intrusion prevention intervention.

Rule version TANS-SV-000065 · STIG v2 · 2021-12-20

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 HIPS software used on the Tanium Server.

Review the settings of the HIPS software.

Validate exclusions exist which exclude the Tanium program files from being restricted by HIPS.

If exclusions do not exist, this is a finding.

Fix

Implement exclusion policies within the HIPS software solution to exclude the Tanium Server program files from HIPS intervention.
