A growing number of IT leaders are sounding the alarm over the state of cybersecurity in today’s AI-driven landscape. According to Lenovo’s latest Work Reborn report, 65% of IT leaders admit their current defenses are outdated and unprepared to withstand AI-enabled cyberattacks, while only 31% feel confident in their ability to protect their organizations from these evolving threats.
The rise of generative AI has not only empowered businesses but also intensified cybercriminal activity. Attackers are now leveraging AI to create more sophisticated tactics, including malware that mutates to avoid detection, phishing campaigns that mimic legitimate user behavior, and deepfake impersonations capable of deceiving even seasoned professionals. These threats span multiple domains—from cloud services to endpoints and sensitive data repositories—making traditional defense strategies increasingly ineffective.
IT leaders surveyed highlighted three top concerns: AI-powered external threats such as polymorphic malware and deepfakes, insider risks driven by employee misuse of AI tools, and vulnerabilities within AI models and training data. These issues underscore the need for a new approach to cyber defense—one that adapts in real time, just like the threats themselves.
Lenovo has positioned itself at the forefront of this challenge with AI-native defenses and intelligent endpoints. Its new line of AI PCs acts as self-defending assets, integrated within a broader cyber resiliency platform designed to detect, respond, and adapt automatically. The company’s Cyber Resiliency as a Service (CRaaS) offering has already demonstrated promising results, including a 99.5% threat detection rate, response times under 30 minutes, and cost savings of more than 20% in the first year.
These innovations have not gone unnoticed. Lenovo was recently honored at the 2025 Fortress Cybersecurity Awards in three categories: Cybersecurity Leaders, Supply Chain Assurance, and Leading Cybersecurity Products and Services. Furthermore, Lenovo’s ThinkSystem x86 servers continue to stand out in reliability, achieving the #1 uptime ranking among all x86 platforms for 11 consecutive years, as reported by ITIC in 2024.
The Work Reborn report concludes that securing AI-enabled workplaces is no longer just a defensive necessity. Done right, AI-powered cybersecurity can become a strategic growth engine—boosting productivity, reducing operational costs, and accelerating digital transformation.
The findings are based on a survey of 600 IT leaders across 12 countries, covering enterprises with more than 1,000 employees across diverse industries. Together, they paint a clear picture: organizations that fail to adopt AI-driven cybersecurity may risk far more than data breaches—they risk falling behind in the digital economy.
