1. Access the Tanium Servers (Application, SQL and Module) interactively.

2. Log on to the server with an account that has administrative privileges.

3. Access the server's registry by typing "regedit".

4. Press "Enter".

5. Confirm the following settings are in place:
a) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SYSTEM >> CurrentControlSet >> Control >> SecurityProviders >> SCHANNEL >> Protocols >> SSL 2.0 >> Client.

Name: DisabledByDefault
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x0000001 (hex)

If the value for "DisabledByDefault" is not set to "1" and "Type" is not configured to "REG_DWORD" or does not exist, this is a finding.

Name: Enabled
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x00000000 (hex)

If the value for "Enabled" is not set to "0" and "Type" is not configured to "REG_DWORD" or does not exist, this is a finding.

b) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SYSTEM >> CurrentControlSet >> Control >> SecurityProviders >> SCHANNEL >> Protocols >> SSL 2.0 >> Server.

Name: DisabledByDefault

If the value for "Enabled" is not set to "0" and "Type" is not configured to "REG_DWORD" or does not exist, this is a finding.

c) Repeat the steps above for SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, and TLS 1.1.

d) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SYSTEM >> CurrentControlSet >> Control >> SecurityProviders >> SCHANNEL >> Protocols >> TLS 1.2 >> Client.

Name: DisabledByDefault
