Security solutions at the front line

Keep your business data and your privacy safe with our comprehensive suite of ThinkShield security solutions. The X1 Carbon Gen 8 includes a discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) that encrypts data and works in conjunction with Windows 10 security. ThinkShutter, a physical camera cover, blocks the lens to ensure that you’re only seen when you want to be. And the match-on-chip fingerprint reader, the most secure fingerprint technology available, uses biometrics to log you in with a simple touch.

For your eyes only

As part of ThinkShield security, we offer a combination of hardware and software that work together to ensure what’s on your display is for your eyes only. PrivacyGuard is an electronic privacy filter built into your display to decrease the angle of vision when others view from an angle, they see only a black screen. PrivacyAlert* is an integrated software that works with the IR camera to ensure that if others look over your shoulder, then a popup notifies you of the potential threat.
