Lenovo’s latest research reveals that a majority of enterprises are unprepared for the next wave of cybercrime driven by AI. According to its third Work Reborn report, Reinforcing the Modern Workplace, 65% of IT leaders admit their defenses cannot withstand AI-enabled attacks, and only 31% are confident in their ability to manage such threats. The findings underscore the need for AI-powered security that adapts and evolves as quickly as modern cyberattacks.
Lenovo research finds 65% of IT leaders say defenses can’t withstand AI-powered attacks.
Only 31% feel confident in their ability to defend against AI-driven threats.
Key risks: polymorphic malware, phishing, deepfakes, AI misuse, and AI agent insider threats.
Lenovo extends AI-driven protection across endpoints, cloud, and workplace platforms.
Lenovo recognized at 2025 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards for leadership and innovations.
Report shows enterprises must move from reactive defenses to resilient, AI-native security.
Generative AI has transformed cyberattacks, enabling adversaries to launch faster, stealthier, and harder-to-detect campaigns. These include AI-driven phishing, polymorphic malware, deepfakes, and compromised AI agents acting as insider threats. Furthermore, protecting AI assets themselves—models, prompts, and training data—has become a critical challenge.
Rakshit Ghura, Vice President & General Manager of Lenovo Digital Workplace Solutions, emphasized, “AI has changed the balance of power in cybersecurity. To keep up, organizations need intelligence that adapts as fast as the threats. That means fighting AI with AI.”
Traditional defenses are no longer sufficient to counter AI-enabled cybercrime. Lenovo advocates a two-pronged approach built on AI-driven detection and adaptive prevention. Through its Digital Workplace Solutions, delivered by the generative AI-enabled Care of One™ platform, Lenovo is extending protection beyond the SOC to the entire digital workplace. Core offerings include Lenovo Security Services and ThinkShield, which bolster endpoint, application, and data defenses across enterprise environments.
Lenovo’s commitment to next-generation security has been widely recognized. At the 2025 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards, Lenovo secured three major honors:
Cybersecurity Leader: Nima Baiati, Executive Director and GM, for Zero Trust Architecture.
Supply Chain Security: ThinkShield Supply Chain Assurance, adopted by enterprises such as Meta.
Leading Product & Service: Cyber Resiliency as a Service (CRaaS), delivering rapid detection, faster response times, and measurable cost savings.
The company is also embedding AI protections directly into devices. With AI PCs, Lenovo enables endpoints to act as intelligent, self-defending assets that integrate seamlessly into broader cyber resilience strategies.
Beyond mitigating risk, AI-powered defenses are becoming a business enabler. Enterprises with trusted AI security foundations report higher productivity, reduced costs, and accelerated adoption of AI solutions. Lenovo’s research highlights that turning cyber risk into resilience enhances competitiveness in the AI-powered business landscape.
Ghura concluded, “With AI tools proliferating beyond IT’s visibility and attackers exploiting gaps traditional systems can’t recognize, Lenovo is delivering the AI-powered defenses enterprises need to close the gap, turning risk into resilience and enabling workplaces that are protected, productive, and future-ready.”
