Who is responsible for deploying the Tanium client according to the roles and responsibilities?

The responsibility for deploying the Tanium client lies with the customer. This distinction is important because the deployment of the Tanium client requires an understanding of the customer's specific IT environment, including existing infrastructure, security policies, and operational requirements. The customer is best positioned to ensure that the client is deployed in a manner that aligns with their internal processes and system configurations.

The customer's role encompasses not only the initial setup but also the ongoing management and maintenance of the Tanium client across their devices. This includes ensuring that updates proceed smoothly and that the client is functioning optimally within their network. Since the customer has the most intimate knowledge of their operational needs, they are ideally situated to handle the deployment effectively, tailoring it to fit their individual circumstances.

While Tanium does provide support through documentation, guidance, and potentially services, the actual implementation is intended to be executed by the customer to maintain alignment with their unique environment and operational protocols. This responsibility promotes ownership and accountability within the customer's IT team.
