Which statement best describes the use of Tanium Relays for remote-site connectivity?

• A. To bypass Tanium central server.
• B. To store historical data locally at the remote site.
• C. To provide local query routing and reduce WAN traffic.
• D. To replace endpoint security agents.

Answer: (C)

Tanium Relays serve as local intermediaries at remote sites to route queries and responses, reducing how much data must traverse the wide-area network. By handling communication locally, endpoints at that site can be queried and get faster replies without sending everything back to the central server, which helps save WAN bandwidth and improves performance when connectivity is limited. They’re not designed to bypass the central server, store long-term historical data as a primary function, or replace endpoint security agents, which is why the option describing local query routing and reduced WAN traffic best captures their purpose.
