90% of IT Leaders See Gaps in AI Threat Readiness, Lenovo Brings Single Point of Accountability to Cyber Resilience

BEIJING - New endpoint resilience and managed security offerings help organizations reduce security complexity, cut system downtime by up to 50%, and lower remediation costs by up to 40% by bringing devices, security technologies, expert services, and ecosystem partners together under a single operational model, according to the official website of Lenovo.

As organizations accelerate AI adoption and digital transformation, many are finding that cyber resilience is undermined not by a lack of security tools, but by growing operational complexity. According to recent research, 90% of IT leaders acknowledge gaps in their ability to defend against AI-driven threats.

While security investments continue to grow, many organizations face a different challenge: fragmented accountability. Security operations now span devices, security platforms, service providers, and internal teams, making it increasingly difficult to coordinate response efforts, maintain business continuity, and recover quickly when incidents occur.

To help organizations address this challenge, Lenovo is expanding its global Security Services portfolio with new endpoint resilience and managed security offerings designed to provide a single point of accountability across the endpoint lifecycle. By bringing devices, security technologies, expert services, and market-leading alliances together under a coordinated operating model, organizations can reduce security complexity, cut system downtime by up to 50%, and lower remediation costs by up to 40%.

“Security leaders don’t need more tools. They need greater confidence that their people, devices, and data remain protected, and clear accountability when issues arise,” said Rakshit Ghura, Vice President and General Manager, Digital Workplace Solutions, Lenovo. “When cyber incidents occur, organizations are often left coordinating across multiple vendors, platforms, and support teams. By bringing trusted devices, leading security technologies, expert managed services, and market-leading alliances together under a single operational model, Lenovo helps customers reduce complexity while strengthening resilience.”

Lenovo’s approach has been recognized by industry analysts and independent organizations, including recent recognition in the 2026 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards across cyber resilience, application security, and AI security categories.

According to ISG Research, Lenovo Security Services combines hardware trust, multi-layered protection, and AI-enabled operations within a unified framework that helps organizations improve resilience, maintain business continuity, and reduce operational disruption1. 

Delivering Managed Endpoint Resilience at Scale

As part of the portfolio expansion, Lenovo is launching Lenovo Security Services with Absolute, a fully managed endpoint resilience offering designed to help organizations maintain critical security controls across distributed workforces without increasing demands on internal IT teams. The service enables essential security controls to automatically recover when disrupted, reducing manual intervention and helping organizations maintain consistent protection across endpoint environments.

The offering is supported by Lenovo’s global 24x7x365 Security Operations Center (SOC), where security specialists continuously monitor endpoint activity and help organizations identify and respond to emerging threats. By combining firmware-level resilience, managed operations, and expert security oversight, Lenovo helps organizations strengthen endpoint protection while reducing operational burden on internal teams.

Extending Visibility and Control Beyond Traditional Security Boundaries
Lenovo is also introducing Lenovo ThinkShield TraceLock, powered by Absolute Security, to help organizations maintain visibility and control of lost, stolen, or disconnected devices that may fall outside the reach of traditional endpoint management and security tools.

Conventional endpoint security depends on an active operating system or network connection. When devices are powered off or disconnected, they can become operational blind spots. ThinkShield TraceLock uses built-in cellular connectivity to let IT teams remotely locate, wake, and wipe devices, helping organizations protect sensitive data and reduce risk when hardware is lost or compromised.

The solution helps organizations strengthen compliance efforts, maintain control of sensitive corporate data, and support security policies even when endpoints are offline.

ThinkShield TraceLock is particularly valuable for organizations operating in highly regulated industries, including healthcare, financial services, government, and the public sector, where maintaining control over sensitive data and meeting compliance requirements are business-critical priorities.

ThinkShield TraceLock will be available beginning July 1 on select ThinkPad devices2.

A Unified Approach to Cyber Resilience
As cyber threats evolve, resilience is increasingly defined not by the number of security tools an organization deploys, but by how effectively those capabilities work together to prevent disruption, maintain continuity, and accelerate recovery.

Lenovo helps organizations maximize the value of existing security investments by integrating with leading providers including Absolute, Cisco, Google, Microsoft, SentinelOne, and Veeam. Rather than requiring customers to coordinate across multiple providers during security incidents, Lenovo delivers a coordinated operational model that brings together endpoint resilience, protection, and recovery through a single accountable relationship.

The result is a more integrated approach to cyber resilience that helps organizations reduce complexity, improve operational efficiency, and pursue digital transformation initiatives with greater confidence.
