Tanium Cryptographic Module
Tanium Cryptographic Module, from Tanium, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2736 at overall level 1. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. When operating with the BCRYPTPRIMITIVES.DLL module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Certificates #1329, #1336, and #1892 operating in FIPS Mode

Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Tanium Cryptographic Module underpins Tanium's security management platform. Tanium's platform is a security and configuration management solution that provides instant visibility and allows enterprises to collect data and update machines in any-sized network, in seconds. Tanium's platform is able to query information from hundreds of thousands of machines in seconds because of its intelligent peer-to-peer communication model. This speed means that information is current and accurate when assessing a security threat or vulnerability.
