In an era when AI-enabled devices are becoming integral to enterprise operations, enhanced ensurance of their security and integrity is paramount. Lenovo and Intel are excited to announce their latest collaboration: Lenovo ThinkShield Build Assure, a cutting-edge solution designed to enhance supply chain cybersecurity for commercial endpoint client devices.
A smarter approach to supply chain security
The global technology supply chain is a complex ecosystem, presenting potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. Lenovo, renowned for its world-class supply chain, is committed to delivering secure, innovative, and resilient products to customers worldwide. Through ThinkShield Build Assure, Lenovo leverages Intel® Tiber™ Transparent Supply Chain to offer enhanced transparency and security for device integrity and traceability.
ThinkShield Build Assure empowers enterprises to electronically verify the integrity of Lenovo client devices from manufacturing and transport to end-user deployment. By tracking critical device information such as hardware, firmware, system components, and platform certificates, organizations can help ensure devices remain uncompromised, which helps safeguard sensitive data and maintain operational efficiency.
Intel-powered security
Intel Tiber Transparent Supply Chain forms the backbone of Lenovo’s ThinkShield Build Assure solution. This collaboration extends from the manufacturing floor to customer platforms, enabling enterprises to verify the authenticity of components, firmware, and system configurations. Our Auto Verify capability compares the platform certificate of the devices received to the original order, reducing the risk of supply chain attacks and minimizing downtime due to counterfeit components.
With detailed component-level visibility and actionable insights provided through a secure web portal and API integration, IT teams can proactively manage device fleets, ensure rapid incident response, and maintain security vigilance without disrupting workflows.
Transforming supply chain trust into a competitive advantage
As AI-driven devices become commonplace, the need for robust supply chain security solutions is more critical than ever. Lenovo and Intel’s collaboration addresses these challenges head-on, providing enterprises with the confidence to innovate fearlessly. By transforming supply chain trust into a competitive advantage, organizations handling sensitive data or operating in regulated industries can help mitigate risks below-the-OS to enhance their security posture.
