Assessment Title
Rule Text
The Tanium cryptographic signing capabilities must be enabled on the Tanium Clients to safeguard the authenticity of communications sessions when answering requests from the Tanium Server.
Description
Discussion Text
All of Tanium's signing capabilities must be enabled upon install. Tanium supports the cryptographic signing and verification before execution of all Sensors, Questions, Actions, Sensor Libraries, File Shards, etc.
Enabling signing removes the ability of an attacker to conduct man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks for remote code execution and precludes the modification of the aforementioned data elements in transit. Additionally, Tanium supports object-level signing for content ingested into the Tanium platform. This allows for the detection and rejection of changes to objects (sensors, actions, etc.) by even a privileged user within Tanium.
Tanium has built-in signing capabilities enabled by default when installed. Cryptographic signing and verification of all Sensors, Questions, Actions, Sensor Libraries, File Shards, etc., before execution will be enforced by Tanium.
Signing will prevent MitM remote code execution attacks and will protect data element in transit. Tanium also supports object-level signing for content within the Tanium platform.
