Description

Ben Dadson (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) and Doug Thompson (Tanium)

Most "platform value" stories are written by vendors. This one is written by an IT director defending a budget. Every higher ed IT shop has the same problems: site licenses you're paying for and barely using, Windows 10 machines that won't make the jump and nobody knows which departments own them, faculty laptops that are never on at the right time, cert renewals piling up because Sectigo dropped the TTL.Indiana University of Pennsylvania has been quietly solving these with a product they originally bought for patching. Ben Dadson, IT Director at IUP, joins Doug Thompson of Tanium.
