Lenovo & SentinelOne partner to boost AI-driven security

Lenovo and SentinelOne have entered into a multi-year collaboration to enhance the cybersecurity of Lenovo devices worldwide. The partnership will see SentinelOne's AI-driven Singularity Platform and generative AI capabilities, branded as Purple AI, integrated into Lenovo's ThinkShield security portfolio.

This collaboration aims to provide robust, autonomous protection against modern cyber threats by embedding SentinelOne's AI-powered endpoint security directly into new and existing Lenovo devices. The integration will not only cover new PC shipments but also offer upgrades to existing Lenovo customers.

Nima Baiati, Executive Director and General Manager of Cybersecurity Solutions within Lenovo's Intelligent Devices Group, emphasized the urgency of adapting to the evolving cyber threat landscape. "The complexity and speed of today's cyberthreats demand an intelligent, adaptable defence," Baiati said. He noted that the Singularity Platform and Purple AI are at the forefront of this evolution, offering a powerful defence against cyber threats. "As Lenovo introduces groundbreaking new AI PCs to the market, we are integrating these cutting-edge AI-powered endpoint security capabilities into Lenovo's ThinkShield security platform. This will enhance endpoint protection and fortify enterprise resilience against the ever-evolving threat landscape," he added.

Lenovo is a leading PC vendor with millions of devices sold annually. The new agreement with SentinelOne, a long-time strategic partner, is expected to significantly increase the number of Lenovo devices equipped with AI-powered security features. The collaboration aims to leverage Lenovo's extensive global sales and partner network to offer advanced, built-in security to businesses of all sizes.

Patricia Wilkey, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Lenovo Solutions and Services Group International Sales, highlighted the importance of cyber resilience. "Cyber resilience is incredibly important for business continuity as organizations increasingly face the unpredictable. Our security services collaboration with SentinelOne is another key aspect of Lenovo's cybersecurity and cyber resilience services intended to help protect customers from anomalous threats," Wilkey said.

In addition to integrating AI-driven endpoint security, Lenovo will also launch a new Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service. This service will be built on SentinelOne's Singularity Platform, utilising its AI and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities.

Akhil Kapoor, Vice President of Embedded Business at SentinelOne, noted the critical role of endpoint security in business operations. "The endpoint remains a primary vector of cyberattacks and the most critical part of a business' ongoing operations. By working with market leaders like Lenovo, we can rapidly scale AI-powered security to millions of PCs and servers across the globe," Kapoor said. He also emphasized the strategic advantage for Lenovo customers, stating, "It's an opportunity for Lenovo and SentinelOne to give Lenovo customers a clear security and resiliency advantage by delivering intelligent devices that defend themselves in real time."

SentinelOne's solutions are already available and in use by Lenovo customers today. The collaboration aims to continue enhancing the security and resiliency of Lenovo devices, providing a substantial security advantage for its extensive global user base.
