November 2023 by Marc Jacob
Tanium announced its partnership with VestsInTech (VIT), the national non-profit dedicated to supporting veterans through tech-based programs and opportunities in education, employment, and entrepreneurship. Together, Tanium and VetsinTech will work to develop, certify, and connect U.S. military veterans with open IT and security positions while simultaneously filling a widening talent gap.
"As our military veterans and their spouses transition into civilian life, Tanium is proud to be part of their journey to do what comes naturally to them – lead, secure, and protect,” said Dan Streetman, CEO of Tanium. “Cybersecurity and converged endpoint management training will create more pathways for our veterans while helping organizations find and retain the best talent our country has to offer. Tanium looks forward to supporting this important mission with VetsInTech.”
Tanium joins the VetsinTech Employer Coalition to train veterans and military spouses to become Tanium Certified Operators. The training includes experience in real-world scenarios, hands-on practices scenarios, and interactive knowledge checks of Tanium’s award-winning XEM platform. Participants will learn how to leverage the power of Tanium to get real-time visibility of all endpoints, mitigate risk and ensure compliance, and eliminate threats with real-time incident response and remediation at scale.
“On the cusp of Veterans Day, we’re proud to welcome Tanium into our employer coalition,” said VetsinTech Founder and CEO Katherine Webster. “Our program and participants will find invaluable education, experience, and guidance from their participation as we continue to support transitioning veterans on their journey into the technology sector.”
A former U.S. Army officer and distinguished graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Tanium CEO Dan Streetman will continue to advise and support the VestsInTech Board whose members include Founder and CEO Katherine Webster, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark, Resilience COO Mike McNerney, Founder and Managing Partner of SD Mayer & Associates Steve Mayer, as well as Thomas R. Anderson, Colonel (Ret.) U.S. Army, serves as counsel with VLP Law Group LLP.
Tanium currently supports five branches of the Department of Defense, along with numerous federal and civilian agencies, and is a recent member of the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Joint Cyber Defense Collaboration (JCDC). Founded upon a real-time communications architecture, Tanium converges multiple point solutions into a unified platform that offers asset discovery and inventory, endpoint management, certificate management, unified policy configuration, digital employee experience, risk, compliance, and incident response.
