Check: TANS-DB-000001
Tanium 6.5 STIG:
TANS-DB-000001
(in versions v1 r3 through v1 r2)
Title
The Tanium SQL database must be installed on a separate system. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Failure to protect organizational information from data mining may result in a compromise of information. Data storage objects include, for example, databases, database records, and database fields. Data mining prevention and detection techniques include, for example: limiting the types of responses provided to database queries; limiting the number/frequency of database queries to increase the work factor needed to determine the contents of such databases; and notifying organizational personnel when atypical database queries or accesses occur.
Check Content
Consult with the Tanium System Administrator to determine the server to which the SQL database has been installed and is configured. If the SQL database is installed on the same server as the Tanium Server, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Move the Tanium SQL database from the Tanium Server to a separate SQL server system.
