Tanium and Salesforce have come together in a strategic relationship to help solve one of today's most compelling and urgent problems: how does security manage a workforce that has migrated from in-house company desktops to remote personal devices.
The amount of the investment has not been disclosed, but Tanium said it brings the company's valuation to around $9 billion.
Salesforce says the partnership will help employees access support from anywhere across devices and channels, including AI-powered bots and mobile self-service sites; maximize IT productivity with integrated help desk, asset management and custom workflows; and accelerate incident resolution by empowering IT with a complete view of every employee coupled with AI-powered productivity tools to drive proactive resolution.
"With the shift to an all-digital, remote workforce where employees are using personal internet connections to connect to company networks, it's even more critical that IT can ensure employee devices are secure, patched, updated and compliant," said Sarah Franklin, EVP and GM, Platform, Trailhead and AppExchange at Salesforce.
"Companies need to invest in the right IT infrastructure to ensure their technology assets are stable and secure. I'm excited to be partnering with Tanium to build an employee service solution that will accelerate IT automation and empower employees to do their best work."
