RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – Lenovo today announced its intention to ship Intel® Anti-Theft Technology in an effort to help customers address the growing demand for notebook protection and security among business users.

“With technologies such as our embedded security subsystem, Lenovo has been a leader in PC security innovation,” said Mark Cohen, vice president and distinguished engineer, Notebook Business Unit, Lenovo. “Intel Anti-Theft Technology will enable Lenovo to dramatically improve PC system security, data protection, and theft management to better serve our customers’ security needs.”
