What essential information can be retrieved using Tanium sensors across cloud providers?

Tanium sensors are designed to collect a wide array of system and network data from endpoints, including those hosted in cloud environments. One key capability of these sensors is their ability to retrieve information about cloud instance public keys. Public keys are critical for establishing secure connections and enabling encrypted communication between cloud instances and other resources. By accessing this information, organizations can ensure that their cloud infrastructure is secure and that the appropriate authentication mechanisms are in place.

While end-user activity logs, local database connections, and network outages may pertain to monitoring and security, they are not directly tied to the specific capabilities of Tanium sensors for cloud instance data retrieval. End-user activity logs pertain more to user behaviors rather than infrastructure elements, local database connections focus on the specific databases running on instances rather than the overall environment, and network outages relate more to service availability rather than the configuration and security information that public keys represent. Therefore, the retrieval of cloud instance public keys aligns directly with the strengths and functionality of Tanium sensors in the context of cloud provider environments.
