Founded in 2007, Tanium is a California-based cybersecurity and systems management startup that provides real-time visibility, control, and security for large-scale enterprise IT networks. The platform allows organizations to detect threats, manage endpoints, and respond to incidents quickly, protecting sensitive data across thousands of devices.
Tanium’s mission is to simplify and accelerate enterprise cybersecurity and IT operations by combining real-time data collection with scalable architecture, helping companies respond to threats faster than traditional tools.
Tanium was co-founded by Orion Hindawi and his father David Hindawi, both veterans of enterprise software. Orion, a Stanford graduate, previously worked at BigFix (a company acquired by IBM), gaining deep insight into endpoint management. David Hindawi had a background in software engineering and executive leadership.
Observing that large enterprises struggled to quickly detect and fix vulnerabilities across thousands of endpoints, the Hindawis envisioned a platform that could provide instant, enterprise-wide visibility. They started Tanium with the goal of transforming enterprise cybersecurity through speed, simplicity, and scale.
