As organisations accelerate their use of AI and transform their digital workplaces, many are discovering that the complexities of operations and increasing threat sophistication can undermine cyber resilience.
Recent research indicates that a significant majority, 90% of IT leaders, acknowledge deficiencies in their ability to counter AI-driven threats. Despite increasing investments in security, challenges persist due to fragmented accountability, with distributed and isolated security operations complicating efforts to coordinate responses and ensure business continuity following incidents.
Cyber resiliency framework
To tackle these challenges, Lenovo is advancing its global Security Services portfolio, introducing a comprehensive cyber resiliency framework and security solutions designed to simplify accountability. This effort aims to reduce security complexity, decrease system downtime by up to 50%, and cut remediation costs by up to 40%.
Rakshit Ghura, Vice President and General Manager of Digital Workplace Solutions at Lenovo, commented, "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.” Lenovo's strategic approach aims to consolidate trusted devices, top-tier security technologies, and managed services to fortify business resilience and minimize complexity.

ISG Research notes that Lenovo Security Services integrates hardware trust, robust multi-layered protection, and AI-driven operations within a coordinated framework, enhancing resilience and preserving business continuity while mitigating operational disruptions.
Essential security controls
As part of the portfolio’s expansion, Lenovo is unveiling a partnership with Absolute, offering end-to-end resilience management which ensures critical security controls remain consistent across distributed workforces with minimal impact on internal IT teams.
This fully managed service allows essential security functions to automatically recover from disruptions, reducing manual interventions and providing consistent protection across entire IT environments. Supported by Lenovo's global SOC, which is operational 24/7, the service ensures continuous monitoring and rapid threat response, leveraging expert oversight to relieve internal team burdens.

Another significant addition is the Lenovo ThinkShield TraceLock, powered by Absolute Security, which aids organisations in maintaining oversight and control over lost, stolen, or disconnected devices beyond the reach of traditional endpoint management tools.
Since conventional security depends on active systems and networks, inactive devices can become vulnerabilities. ThinkShield TraceLock employs cellular technology to enable remote location, activation, and data wiping of devices, ensuring data security and minimising risks associated with lost hardware.
Highly regulated industries
This solution is especially crucial for sectors such as healthcare, financial services, and government, where data control and compliance are paramount. ThinkShield TraceLock will be accessible on select ThinkPad devices starting from July 1.
As cyber threats become more sophisticated, resilience now hinges on the interaction of a company’s security measures rather than the mere count of tools deployed. Lenovo’s cyber resiliency framework enhances existing security investments by integrating solutions across Identity and Access management, Data Protection, and more, with collaborations from tech leaders like Absolute, Cisco, and Microsoft.
By streamlining threat management and incident response into a coordinated model, Lenovo’s AI-driven Security Operations Centre (SOC) offers continuity and recovery within a single accountable partnership, simplifying the organisation’s security landscape. This integrated model not only reduces complexity and boosts operational efficiency but also empowers organisations to confidently pursue digital advancements.
As organisations accelerate AI adoption and digital workplace transformation, many are finding that cyber resilience is undermined not by a lack of security tools, but by growing operational complexity and threat sophistication. 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 organisations face a different challenge: fragmented accountability. Security operations remain highly distributed and siloed, making it increasingly difficult to coordinate response efforts, maintain end-to-end business continuity, and recover quickly when incidents occur.
Cyber resiliency framework
To help organisations address this challenge, Lenovo is expanding its global Security Services portfolio with a revamped cyber resiliency framework and end-to-end security offerings designed to provide a single point of accountability, help organisations 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, organisations 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, so they can focus on their business and serving customers.”
Reduce operational disruption
Lenovo's approach has been recognised by industry analysts and independent organisations, 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 organisations improve resilience, maintain business continuity, and reduce operational disruption.
Essential security controls
As part of the portfolio expansion, Lenovo is launching Security Services with Absolute, a fully managed end-to-end resilience offering designed to help organisations 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 organisations maintain consistent protection across complete environments.
The offering is supported by Lenovo's global 24x7x365 Security Operations Center (SOC), where security specialists continuously monitor end-to-end activity and help organisations identify and respond to emerging threats. By combining firmware-level resilience, managed operations, and expert security oversight, Lenovo helps organisations strengthen end-to-end resiliency while reducing operational burden on internal teams.
Active operating system
Lenovo is also introducing Lenovo ThinkShield TraceLock, powered by Absolute Security, to help organisations 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 organisations protect sensitive data and reduce risk when hardware is lost or compromised.
Highly regulated industries
The solution helps organisations strengthen compliance efforts, maintain control of sensitive corporate data, and support security policies even when endpoints are offline.
ThinkShield TraceLock is particularly valuable for organisations 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 devices.
Existing security investments
As cyber threats evolve, resilience is increasingly defined not by the number of security tools an organisation deploys, but by how effectively an organisation’s security posture is when different capabilities work together to prevent disruption, maintain continuity, and, if needed, accelerate recovery.
Lenovo’s end-to-end cyber resiliency framework helps organisations maximise the value of existing security investments through Identity and Access management, Data Protection, Extended Detection and Response, Visibility and Risk Management, and Security for AI. Lenovo’s cyber resiliency framework integrates with leading technology providers including Absolute, Cisco, Google, Microsoft, SentinelOne, and Veeam.
Single accountable relationship
Rather than requiring customers to coordinate across multiple providers for threat management and security incidents, Lenovo’s AI-enabled SOC delivers a coordinated operational model that combines end-to-end resilience, ongoing protection, and recovery through a single accountable relationship.
The result is a more integrated approach to cyber resilience that helps organisations reduce complexity, improve operational efficiency, and pursue digital transformation initiatives with greater confidence.
