Microsoft 365 cloud endpoint management for MDM, MAM, and zero trust conditional access across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS; integrated with Azure AD and Defender for enterprise device security.
Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based endpoint management and security platform within Microsoft 365 that enables IT teams to manage and secure mobile devices, desktops, and applications across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS — providing mobile device management (MDM), mobile application management (MAM), and conditional access controls that enforce security policies without requiring on-premises infrastructure. Intune is part of Microsoft's Microsoft Endpoint Manager suite (alongside Configuration Manager) and integrates natively with Azure Active Directory, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, and the broader Microsoft security stack.
$1.174B funding; $9B valuation 2020; $700M revenue 2024; 2,500 customers; 2,100 employees; Forbes Cloud 100 #17 2025; 10 consecutive years; endpoint security leader
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.
