Check Content

1. Access the Tanium Server.

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

3. Access the server's registry by typing: regedit <enter>.

4. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Wow6432Node >> Tanium >> Tanium Server.

5. Verify the existence of a DWORD "SSLHonorCipherOrder" with a value of "0x00000001" (hex).

If the DWORD "SSLHonorCipherOrder" does not exist with a value of "0x00000001" (hex), this is a finding.
