Endpoint platform administration
Tanium module administration across Asset, Comply, Deploy, Enforce, Interact, and Patch. Package creation, patch baselines, deployment scheduling, and platform health monitoring.
Platform Administrator
Christian M. Kaba
I run endpoint platforms at scale. Tanium, CrowdStrike Falcon, and Absolute across more than 25,000 endpoints in a regulated healthcare environment.

What I do
The work, plainly
Six areas cover most of what I am responsible for day to day.
Patch and vulnerability remediation
Large-scale patching and software deployment, plus the remediation work that follows. Compliance and agent health reporting for the teams that need it.
Endpoint security operations
CrowdStrike Falcon policies, host groups, and sensor health. Absolute for device tracking, persistence, and policy enforcement. Tanium Anti-Tamper across the enterprise.
Identity and access
RBAC administration inside Tanium, plus user and group management in Entra ID, AD DS, and Office 365. User lifecycle from provisioning through de-provisioning.
Virtualization and infrastructure
Proxmox VE and VMware ESXi in my own lab, running the services I use to test things properly before they reach anything that matters.
Automation and scripting
Sensors, saved questions, and packages built so operational and security teams can get real-time endpoint data without asking me first.
