Lenovo has established the Lenovo Cybersecurity Innovation Centre (LCIC) in cooperation with the Cyber Security Research Center of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, a leading Israel-based cybersecurity research institution. The centre will focus on Zero Trust architecture innovation in hardware and below-OS security and serve as a hub for developing next-generation security solutions. The LCIC offers Lenovo customers an attestation lab and access to industry insights and information exchange through an on-site briefing centre.
The variety and severity of cyberthreats are increasing as criminal hackers employ more sophisticated tools to an ever-growing threat surface of computing solutions run by businesses, governments and consumers.
According to Lenovo’s global Data For Humanity report in November 2022, IT security is the top consideration when deciding to invest in Digital Transformation solutions across small, medium and large businesses. Monitoring and assessing threats combined with research and reporting by LCIC cybersecurity professionals will empower more strategic and effective responses.
Israel is internationally recognised for being a centre of the cybersecurity industry and Be’er Sheva is home to cybersecurity R&D centres for several global technology companies. The LCIC will be staffed and managed in coordination by cybersecurity experts from Lenovo and Ben-Gurion University.
“Cybersecurity is one of the top priorities of CIOs today,” said Nima Nadav Baiati, Executive Director and GM, Commercial Cybersecurity Solutions, Lenovo. “Lenovo opening the new security innovation centre with Ben-Gurion University gives us access to a global nexus of security innovation, our customers’ access to world-leading experts and will help us create even stronger products across our portfolio.”
