Lenovo to slap ThinkShield security standard for laptop line-up on its Motorola mobiles
2020-10-29 13:41

Motorola will push ThinkShield onto the business end of its smartphone portfolio, as an extension of the security and management programme on Lenovo's laptop and desktop line.

ThinkShield for mobile devices consists of four components, with the first being a "Clean OS". In practice, this means Motorola will avoid loading up devices with unnecessary non-stock software, from additional bloatware to UI overlays.

Finally, Motorola said it would focus on supply-chain security.

Motorola plans to introduce support for ThinkShield in the coming months across its device portfolio, with the standard featuring on all upcoming phones.

Lenovo acquired Motorola Mobility from Google in 2014 for $2.91bn. The Chinese PC maker opted to preserve the Motorola brand, while pursuing aspirations in the mobile sphere with its Legion gaming lineup.
