Orion Hindawi

CEO & Co-Founder, Tanium

Search every verified Orion Hindawi interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. In a May 2021 interview on Technovation, Hindawi discussed the evolution of IT and cybersecurity, describing Tanium as a platform that allows organizations to see and manage all devices on a network. He stated that the network is "not the right place to do anything anymore" because organizations no longer own it, and he characterized a security event as "existential." Hindawi also commented on California, saying the state "got complacent" and that raising children around needles and homelessness "isn't fun for anybody." He noted that Tanium told employees they could move anywhere in the country, as he did not want to be a "hostage-taker" requiring them to remain in expensive areas like San Francisco. In August 2020, Hindawi appeared with Google Cloud's Sunil Potti to announce an expanded partnership between Tanium and Google Cloud. Hindawi said the work-from-home transition had created an opportunity for customers to "replatform and simplify" their security, as many legacy tools no longer worked. Potti stated that Tanium had the "highest fidelity point visibility and control" while Google had the best data storage and analytics, and that combining them could create a "virtual Chromebook-like experience" for enterprise users. Hindawi added that many customers had been building on a "creaky foundation" with 20 to 50 different security products.

  • a16z Podcast | Getting Security Right Isn’t as Hard as You Think (But the Effort Never Ends)

    January 01, 2019 · 📺 a16z

    The paradox of security is we pretty much know what we are supposed to do most of the time -- but we don’t do it. If you examine all the recent high profile attacks, somebody in the organization knew something was wrong before it happened. They just didn’t have the ability to escalate the problem, or the ability to raise a flag that people took seriously. The lack of foundational security hygiene is what makes companies vulnerable to relatively mundane attacks, which are far more likely to hit your company than some sophisticated nation-state mounted attack. “There’s this misconception that w…

    The thing about enterprise security, from the outside at least, is it reads like a Hollywood thriller. Nation states are after your company’s most valuable assets and they must be stopped at all costs. And yes, some nation state-sponsored hacks have caused tremendous damage. But the best course for most companies isn’t to focus on combatting Mission Impossible-like come through the vent break-ins, says Tanium co-founder Orion Hindawi. It’s the far less sexy practice of simply keeping the virtual windows and doors to your company locked. “It is the thing that will fix you,” Hindawi says. In a…

    Managing enterprise networks with thousands of users and endpoints has been hard enough. Now that large enterprise networks routinely include hundreds of thousands of nodes it’s amazingly difficult and time-consuming (we’re talking days often) to get definitive answers to seemingly simple questions like, how many PCs do I have running? Never mind, how many PCs do I have that could be at risk of the Heartbleed virus? Tanium, the most recent company to join the a16z portfolio, offers a systems management and security tool that allows administrators to ask virtually any question about the configu…
