Zero Trust is a modern approach to network security that shifts away from the traditional idea of a corporate perimeter. It operates on the principle of 'Never trust. Always verify.' This means that devices should not be automatically trusted, even if they are connected to a secure network. In the context of hybrid working, where many employees access company resources remotely, Zero Trust is crucial for ensuring that only authorized users with secure devices can access sensitive data.

Lenovo supports hybrid working security through its ThinkShield portfolio, which integrates secure hardware with Microsoft Cloud Security services. This partnership allows for comprehensive protection across devices and platforms. Lenovo's approach includes securing supply chains, implementing Zero Trust strategies, and providing tools like Windows 11 Pro, which is designed for secure hybrid work with built-in protection features.

Windows 11 Pro is designed with security in mind, offering a higher baseline of protection compared to previous versions. Key features include hardware-based protection, multifactor authentication, and enhanced phishing protection. It also supports seamless integration with Microsoft security solutions, enabling organizations to implement effective security policies and manage devices efficiently in a hybrid working environment.
