Description
While the Tanium Server records audit log entries to the Tanium SQL database, retrieval and aggregation of log data through the Tanium console is not efficient. The Tanium Connect module allows for SIEM connectors in order to facilitate forensic data retrieval and aggregation efficiently. Consult documentation at https://docs.tanium.com/connect/connect/index.html for supported Connections.

Using a web browser on a system that has connectivity to the Tanium Application, access the Tanium Application web user interface (UI). Log on with CAC. Click on the navigation button (hamburger menu) on the top left of the console. Click on "Connect". Review the configured Tanium Sources listed. If an "Audit Log" source does not exist, this is a finding. Select the "Audit Log" source. Select the audit connection found in the lower half of the screen. Verify the "Destination Type" is a SIEM tool. If the "Destination Type" is not a SIEM tool, this is a finding.
