Lenovo Unveils Smarter, Simpler ThinkShield Security Solutions

Lenovo™ has unveiled its latest security offering—ThinkShield Solutions, a suite of advanced cybersecurity tools specifically designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), schools, and organizations with limited IT support. This new solution is part of the larger Lenovo ThinkShield portfolio, offering enterprise-level protection to those most vulnerable to cyber threats.

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting SMBs and educational institutions, knowing that these organizations often lack the strong defenses of larger enterprises. In fact, the majority of cyberattacks reported globally are directed at SMBs, with the average cost per attack reaching $255,000. Schools are also prime targets due to the volume of sensitive student data they store—ransomware attacks in this sector have breached over 6.7 million personal records, resulting in an estimated $53 billion in downtime costs from 2018 to mid-September 2023.

Despite being frequent targets, many of these organizations are unprepared for cyberattacks. A lack of structured security protocols, training, and risk management frameworks leaves them vulnerable. Lenovo aims to close this gap with ThinkShield Solutions—a range of easy-to-implement, effective security tools built to support “lean” IT teams.

“Even though SMBs and schools are frequently attacked, many believe they’re too small to be targeted or lack the budget for proper cybersecurity,” said Nima Baiati, Executive Director and General Manager of Commercial Cybersecurity Solutions at Lenovo. “With ThinkShield Solutions, we’ve partnered with top cybersecurity providers to deliver industry-leading protection tailored to their needs.”

Smart, Scalable Protection for Lean IT Teams

ThinkShield Solutions is built with a layered approach to security—reducing attack surfaces, minimizing downtime, and preventing data breaches—all while improving IT efficiency through AI-powered automation. Key offerings include:

• ThinkShield Extended Detection & Response (XDR) – Powered by SentinelOne, this AI-enabled solution offers real-time detection, automated threat response, and protection across email, networks, endpoints, and the cloud. It helps security teams stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
• ThinkShield Data Defense Select – Developed in collaboration with Cigent, this tool offers built-in data protection at the device and file level. With multi-factor authentication (MFA), encryption, and endpoint security, sensitive data stays safe wherever it goes.
• ThinkShield Hardware Defense – Using technology from Sepio, this tool helps IT teams maintain a trusted inventory of hardware assets, even at the peripheral level. It also delivers ongoing intelligence about asset vulnerabilities to help reduce risks across networks.
