About

Ivanti is an enterprise IT management software company headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, formed through the consolidation of LANDESK (founded 1985), Heat Software, Shavlik, AppSense, and Cherwell Software under the Ivanti brand starting in 2017. The company was built on the premise that enterprise IT and security teams need a unified platform to manage, secure, and support the devices, applications, and users spread across hybrid and remote work environments. Ivanti's mission is to help organizations achieve Everywhere Work — enabling IT and security professionals to manage and secure endpoints, automate IT service delivery, and govern access for users working from any location and device.\n\nIvanti's product portfolio spans Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) for device lifecycle management across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS; IT Service Management (ITSM) and IT Asset Management (ITAM) through the Ivanti Neurons platform (built on the Cherwell acquisition); zero trust network access through Ivanti Neurons for ZTA; and IT security capabilities including vulnerability management and patch management. The Ivanti Neurons platform provides an AI-powered intelligence layer across these products, enabling predictive self-healing capabilities and automated remediation that reduce the workload on IT operations teams. Ivanti serves approximately 40,000 enterprise and government customers globally.\n\nIvanti reported approximately $1 billion in revenue for 2023 and has raised $4.35 billion in total funding, reflecting the scale of its consolidation-driven growth strategy. The 2021 acquisition of Cherwell Software for an estimated $1.45 billion was the most significant, bringing a modern, low-code ITSM platform that competes with ServiceNow in mid-market enterprise accounts. Despite navigating significant cybersecurity vulnerability disclosures in 2024, Ivanti's broad product footprint and large installed base across UEM, ITSM, and security make it a major platform vendor in the enterprise IT management and security space.

About

Tanium is a unified endpoint management and security platform founded in 2007 by father-and-son team David and Orion Hindawi — veterans of BMC Software — who built the company to solve a fundamental problem they observed at large enterprises: IT and security teams had no reliable, real-time visibility into the state of every endpoint on their networks. Traditional endpoint management tools relied on agent polling cycles and centralized infrastructure that introduced latency and coverage gaps. Tanium's core innovation is its linear chain architecture, which propagates queries and commands peer-to-peer across endpoints rather than routing everything through a central server — enabling queries that return data from hundreds of thousands of endpoints in seconds rather than hours.\n\nTanium's platform consolidates endpoint management, vulnerability assessment, patch management, threat hunting, incident response, and compliance reporting in a single agent and console. The company targets the most complex enterprise environments — US federal agencies, Fortune 100 companies, and critical infrastructure operators — where incomplete endpoint visibility creates mission-critical security and operational risk. Tanium's architecture is particularly well-suited to air-gapped and geographically distributed networks that struggle with centralized management models. Customers include more than 40% of Fortune 100 companies and major agencies across the US Department of Defense and civilian federal government.\n\nTanium has raised $1.174 billion in total funding and achieved a peak valuation of $9 billion in 2020, positioning it among the most highly valued cybersecurity companies ever to remain private. The company reported approximately $700 million in revenue for 2024 and serves 2,500+ customers. Tanium ranked #17 on the Forbes Cloud 100 in 2025 and has maintained a top-ten position in endpoint security leadership rankings for ten consecutive years, reflecting sustained differentiation in a market that has seen intense competition from CrowdStrike, Microsoft Defender, and SentinelOne.
