What type of cloud service is Tanium Cloud?

Tanium Cloud is classified as a public cloud service. This classification is based on its delivery model, which allows customers to access Tanium's capabilities over the Internet without the need to manage underlying hardware or infrastructure themselves. Public cloud services are typically characterized by their scalability, cost-effectiveness, and the ability for multiple customers to share the same resources while maintaining data security and isolation.

In the context of Tanium Cloud, this means that organizations can leverage Tanium's endpoint management and security features as a service without the complexities of maintaining a private data center or the constraints that can come with hybrid or private cloud models. With the public cloud, customers benefit from rapid deployment, global accessibility, and the flexibility to adjust their usage according to their business needs.

Choosing this option fits with the overall approach of Tanium to provide an accessible, scalable solution that can quickly adapt to the evolving demands of organizations in various sectors. The other cloud service types either imply a mix of management structures or a focus on specific groups that do not align with Tanium’s public-facing, broadly accessible service model.
