Orion Hindawi on cybersecurity

From Tanium CEO Orion Hindawi on Cybersecurity and the Shifting IT Landscape | Technovation 562 · · MetisStrategy

“What we've built is a platform that lets you see everything you've got with the chip in it, really great data about them, and then allow you to change them — whether that's patching things because they've got vulnerabilities, finding data that shouldn't have spread somewhere and removing it, or alerting users if they've got a performance issue and fixing it.”

About Orion Hindawi

CEO & Co-Founder · Tanium

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.
