Gateway, the ThinkCentre Nano IoT is designed to provide processing and
security for the IoT devices you have in your environment that demand real-time
responsiveness at the edge. The Nano IoT increases responsiveness and
reliability by enabling the rapid relay of information between connected IoT
peripherals, sensors and devices, even in harsher commercial environments.
Customers can drive further expansion of additional legacy ports and
peripherals with the expansion I/O Box to build out to your edge device needs.
The suite of IoT offerings includes but not limited to, smart office

ThinkShield™ Security Solutions- Stay one step ahead of the
cyber criminals
Lenovo earlier had announced its ThinkShield™- 360 degree security
solutions built to protect businesses. ThinkShield™ is a fully customizable
suite of security related services, software and hardware capabilities that protect
the full lifecycle of commercial devices, from development to disposal. The
ThinkShield portfolio is designed to provide greater security across all Lenovo
enterprise devices, data centers and emerging solutions. It has been further
enriched with new capabilities like a Self-healing BIOS and ThinkShield engine.
In partnership with Coronet, Lenovo ThinkShield provides Wi-Fi security,
preventing users from accessing insecure networks. Businesses can choose a
unique multi-factor authentication process for employees from Lenovo’s robust
offerings, many of which are supported by the Intel® vPro™ platform.
ThinkPad PrivacyGuard- Secure Your Work from those snooping
eyes
The new range of ThinkPad laptops comes with Lenovo’s ThinkPad
PrivacyGuard which protects the end users screen from prying eyes. ThinkPad
Privacy Alert is a unique software feature that warns users if anyone is
looking at their screen, and if so, it will automatically turn on Privacy
Guard. With Lenovo’s ThinkPad PrivacyGuard, users need not worry about physical
privacy guard film or adhesive connectors. Hence, to prevent someone from
trying to sneak a peek at the laptop screen while you are working on a
confidential excel sheet or presentation, the user can activate PrivacyGuard on
the ThinkPad that can dim the display with the touch of a button, making it
extremely difficult for anyone to view it from the side.
The related Privacy Alert works in conjunction with the PrivacyGuard and
the ThinkPad’s IR depth camera, and can sound an alert if it “sees” anyone
looking over the user’s shoulder.
