Tanium sells endpoint management and security software to large enterprises and government agencies. Its platform gathers data directly from the millions of computers an organization runs and returns answers in seconds. Forbes reported in 2024 that recurring revenue passed $700 million with free cash flow margins above 10 percent. Customers include 40 percent of the Fortune 100 and all six branches of the US military. Contrary Research estimates its secondary-market valuation near $4 billion as of mid-2025, down from the $9 billion attached to its January 2021 round. Revenue growth in 2024 ran at a mature company's pace. Watch whether Tanium Atlas, the AI automation platform released in June 2026, raises the growth rate.

The analyses are statements of opinion, not statements of fact. Machine analysis produced the scores, summaries, and matrix placements by weighing the public sources each page cites, and reasonable people can weigh the same sources differently.
