Building cyber resilience across the next generation of policing. Lanna Deamer 15 September 2026 4 Mins Read Police forces are balancing ageing infrastructure with cloud services, mobile devices and increasingly connected ways of working - all while facing tighter budgets and a growing cyber threat landscape. At the same time, many forces are exploring shared services and IT consolidation to reduce duplication and improve efficiency. Ahead of The Emergency Tech Show, Tanium, a Microsoft Partner Pavilion exhibitor, shares how greater visibility across IT estates, automated remediation and closer integration with Microsoft's security tools can help emergency services build a more resilient digital foundation. What are the biggest technology and cyber security challenges facing policing today? Police forces are managing a complex mix of legacy infrastructure and modern cloud environments, while also supporting mobile working and an expanding number of connected devices. One of the biggest challenges is visibility. Many forces still operate separate tools, processes and security approaches, making it harder to maintain a consistent picture of their IT estate and respond quickly when something goes wrong. Budgets also remain under pressure, so forces need to get more value from existing investments rather than continually adding new tools. As more organisations move towards shared services, reducing duplication across contracts, platforms and processes has become just as important as strengthening security. Why does real-time visibility across IT assets matter so much for police forces? You can't secure or govern what you can't see. Real-time visibility helps forces understand exactly what devices, software and systems are operating across their environment, making it easier to identify vulnerabilities, respond to incidents and maintain compliance. That becomes even more important when forces share infrastructure or merge IT environments. Visibility needs to extend across multiple organisations, locations and legacy systems so that consolidation doesn't simply create one larger estate with the same blind spots. How can technology support IT consolidation while maintaining security and resilience? Shared services create opportunities to reduce duplication, lower costs and apply more consistent security standards across forces. The key is having a common platform that provides visibility and control across the combined estate. Rather than each force running separate point solutions, a shared approach can reduce licensing, integration and management overheads while giving IT teams a single view of devices, policies and vulnerabilities. Done well, consolidation doesn't mean compromising on security. It creates a stronger operating model that is both more resilient and more cost effective. How is automation helping forces move from detecting threats to fixing them? Automation allows organisations to respond as soon as vulnerabilities are identified, rather than relying on manual intervention. For example, policies can automatically trigger patching, isolate compromised devices or apply configuration changes when a security issue is detected. That helps reduce the workload on stretched IT teams and shortens the time between detection and remediation. It's particularly valuable in shared-service environments, where the same platform can enforce consistent security policies across devices whether they're based in stations, in patrol vehicles or being used remotely. What are you looking forward to discussing on the Microsoft Partner Pavilion? Emergency Services Times is looking forward to talking to visitors about the practical challenges of modernising policing technology while making the most of existing investments. On the Microsoft Partner Pavilion, Emergency Services Times'll be discussing how Tanium integrates with tools including Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Intune to give forces better visibility and control across their security environment, without replacing technology they already own. Emergency Services Times'll also be exploring how AI is beginning to support cyber operations by prioritising risks, recommending remediation and helping automate routine security tasks. As policing continues to adopt shared services, AI has the potential to reduce manual workload while making large-scale environments easier to manage securely. Meet Tanium at the Microsoft Partner Pavilion throughout The Emergency Tech Show on 16-17 September at NEC, Birmingham. Register for your free ticket here.

Technology & Innovation 21/08/2026 05:22 Tanium reappoints co-founder Orion Hindawi as CEO to drive next chapter of growth. Company to focus on deepening its Autonomous IT capabilities, further expanding AI offerings across its portfolio, and strengthening customer and partner engagement EMERYVILLE, Calif.-BUSINESS WIRE- Tanium, a leader in Autonomous IT, today announced that Co-Founder and Executive Chairman Orion Hindawi has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Dan Streetman is stepping down as CEO and as a member of the Board after leading Tanium for the last three years, during which time Tanium scaled its go-to-market operations and secured strong industry analyst recognition for innovation within the Tanium platform. Streetman will continue to advise Tanium as part of the transition and co-founder David Hindawi will return to the role of Chairman of the Board. With this foundation in place, this transition positions Tanium to deepen its Autonomous IT capabilities and further expand AI offerings across its portfolio and strengthen customer and partner engagement. The Hindawis co-founded Tanium in 2007 to build the central nervous system of enterprise security, giving organizations unified visibility and control over their endpoints. During his prior tenure as CEO from 2016 to 2023, Orion Hindawi delivered significant growth and built the technical architecture that today underpins one of the most trusted platforms in enterprise security - relied on by Fortune 500 companies, global financial institutions, defense agencies, and healthcare organizations worldwide. As one of the pioneering architects of enterprise-scale endpoint security and management, Hindawi is perfectly positioned to lead Tanium through this next important phase of growth. "Tanium has built something genuinely rare - a platform trusted by the world's most demanding organizations, with the technical depth to lead the next generation of enterprise IT," said Orion Hindawi. "AI has made what we do more critical than ever, and Tanium is the platform every organization will rely on as threats grow more sophisticated, and the pace of change intensifies. We have already embedded AI across how we build and operate, as evidenced by Atlas, our autonomous operating system that was developed and released in a fraction of the time that would previously have been required. As we push further, I look forward to working closely with the talented Tanium management team to capture the meaningful opportunities ahead by delivering more value for our customers and partners." "On behalf of everyone at Tanium, I want to express our deep gratitude to Dan for his leadership over the past few years," added Hindawi. "Dan led Tanium with integrity, steadiness and genuine care for this company, its customers, and its people. His contributions have strengthened Tanium and set the stage for the next chapter of growth. We thank him for his remarkable service." "It's been a privilege to serve as CEO over the past three years and I'm proud of all we achieved, including improving operational discipline and supporting the important work of our customers, who are the most innovative and security conscious organizations in the world," said Streetman. "I could not be more grateful to Orion, David and the Tanium Board for the trust they placed in me to lead this special company." About Tanium Tanium is the Autonomous IT company.

Tanium reinstates co-founder Orion Hindawi as CEO amid ai-driven market shift. SaasRise - Aug 21, 2026 Tanium announced that co-founder Orion Hindawi is returning as chief executive, replacing Dan Streetman after less than four years. The move comes as the $9 billion cybersecurity SaaS company confronts AI-fueled competitive pressure and prepares for an eventual public offering. Why it matters. Tanium's leadership reset underscores how AI is reshaping the security SaaS market, forcing mature players to double down on autonomous capabilities to stay relevant. For operators, the move highlights the importance of aligning product development with AI trends to protect expansion revenue and maintain high net-retention rates. For investors, the reinstated founder and the CFO's IPO focus suggest that a high-growth, AI-centric narrative could unlock premium valuations in a crowded endpoint-protection space. The shift also raises questions about talent strategy in SaaS firms: trimming R&D headcount while investing heavily in AI talent may test Tanium's ability to deliver on its roadmap without sacrificing innovation speed. If successful, Tanium could set a template for other late-stage private SaaS companies navigating the AI inflection point. Key points. * Tanium reinstates co-founder Orion Hindawi as CEO, replacing Dan Streetman. * Company valued at $9 billion, with ~1,900 employees as of 2025. * Recent R&D layoff of ~35 staff signals a leaner AI-focused development plan. * CFO Marc Levine, hired in 2021, is steering an IPO readiness assessment. * AI integration aims to boost autonomous threat detection and expand ARR. Analysis. The re-appointment of a founder as CEO is a classic play when a SaaS firm faces a strategic inflection point. In Tanium's case, the AI disruption in endpoint security is not just a product upgrade - it's a market-defining shift that can recalibrate the firm's competitive moat. By leveraging AI to automate detection and response, Tanium can move from a traditional licensing model toward a more product-led, usage-based revenue stream, which investors typically reward with higher multiples. Historically, private SaaS companies that have successfully navigated an AI transition - think Snowflake's early adoption of AI for query optimization - have seen their net-retention rates climb above 130%, fueling organic growth that reduces reliance on new logo acquisition. Tanium's challenge will be to translate AI enhancements into measurable expansion revenue without alienating its existing base, which values stability and low false-positive rates. The modest R&D cuts suggest a disciplined approach to resource allocation, but the firm must avoid under-investing in the talent pipeline needed to sustain AI innovation. From an IPO perspective, the market is rewarding AI-centric SaaS narratives, as evidenced by recent high-profile listings that commanded premium valuations. Tanium's founder-led reboot, combined with a CFO experienced in public-market preparation, positions the company to pitch a compelling story: a $9 billion security platform now powered by next-gen AI, poised for scalable, recurring revenue growth. The timing will be critical; launching too early could expose the firm to scrutiny over AI execution, while a delayed IPO might miss the current investor appetite for AI-enabled security solutions. Stakeholders should monitor product rollout milestones, ARR growth curves, and any signals of board composition changes as leading indicators of Tanium's readiness for the public markets.
