In the context of Connect, what is a "connection source"?

The notion of a "connection source" within the context of Connect refers specifically to the type of information or data that can be pulled into Tanium from various external systems or sources to enhance its functionality and provide richer insights. In this case, data generated by Tanium, such as logs and alerts, represents a key aspect of what a connection source encompasses. This data can be leveraged within the Tanium platform to facilitate better decision-making, monitoring, and responses to incidents.

Logs and alerts provide crucial operational information that can be used for data correlation, reporting, or feeding into analytic processes, making it vital as a connection source. This integration allows for more effective use of Tanium’s capabilities in security operations, compliance audits, and IT management through enhanced visibility and analytics based on real-time endpoint data.
