What is the purpose of an SMB File Share in Tanium Connect?

The purpose of an SMB File Share in Tanium Connect is to send information from a connection source. SMB (Server Message Block) File Shares are used to facilitate file sharing and allow applications to access files and resources over the network. In the context of Tanium, this means that data collected from endpoints can be exported and sent to a designated SMB File Share location for further analysis or processing. This capability is essential for maintaining data integrity and ensuring that relevant information is shared with other systems or users who may need access to it.

The functionality of sending information via an SMB File Share plays a critical role in integration and data management, allowing organizations to leverage their endpoint data effectively within their existing infrastructure or third-party tools.
