One of the Industry’s Lowest Security-Driven Downtime Rates
Lenovo’s strict supply-chain controls ensure that every component, from silicon through assembly, is guarded against tampering before it ever reaches your data center.
86 % of surveyed enterprises identified security incidents as the leading cause of unplanned downtime.
- Only 2.8 % of Lenovo ThinkSystem servers impacted by security attacks
- TAPA FSR–certified facility ensures end-to-end supply-chain protection for firmware and hardware
According to ITIC’s 2024 Global Server Security Survey, Lenovo ThinkSystem experienced just 2.8 % customer downtime due to successful security breaches
Lenovo is the #1 supercomputer provider in the world.
Lenovo leads the TOP500 supercomputers with 162 installations, powering 1 in 3 of the world’s fastest HPC systems. Our reach spans nearly 20 countries, from the United States and Japan to Australia, Sweden, and Singapore. Read the TOP 500 Report
On the latest TOP500 list, Lenovo retains the top spot by hosting 162 of the 500 fastest supercomputers worldwide — more than any other vendor.
Zero Trust from Design Through Deployment
Lenovo embeds security throughout the design, development, and deployment of our servers. According to ITIC, 86 % of organizations cite security as the leading cause of unplanned downtime — so we enforce the highest standards with a U.S. Secure Development Lab, certified to ISO 27001:2022 and TAPA FSR.
TAPA FSR–Certified Facility
Our dedicated production and staging facility is TAPA FSR–certified. This certification ensures every firmware and hardware component is protected (physically and digitally) from the point of manufacture all the way to your data center.
ISO 27001:2022–Certified ISMS
Lenovo’s development and build processes operate under an ISO 27001:2022–certified Information Security Management System, applying formalized security controls throughout every stage of firmware and software development.
2.8 % Security-Driven Downtime
In ITIC’s 2024 Global Server Security Survey, only 2.8 % of Lenovo ThinkSystem customers reported downtime due to successful security attacks. Among the lowest rates across all major server platforms.
U.S.Based Secure Development Lab
Our development lab is located in the US, managed by US Nationals, with restricted access based on need. It houses ThinkSystem, ThinkEdge, ThinkAgile and CSP ecosystem firmware and software source code build and signing functions.
