What does an Action Lock do in the Tanium system?

An Action Lock in the Tanium system is designed to prevent actions from running on an endpoint. This feature is particularly useful in environments where the stability and security of endpoints need to be maintained. By locking an action, administrators can ensure that no unapproved changes or potentially disruptive commands are executed on the endpoint, which helps in managing risk and maintaining compliance with organizational policies.

This functionality is crucial in settings that require strict change control, allowing organizations to enforce a controlled environment by preventing unauthorized modifications or actions. By implementing Action Locks, Tanium enables IT departments to mitigate the risk of accidental alterations or malicious actions that could compromise the integrity of their systems.
