Infosys Achieves Unbreakable Endpoint Security for 300,000+ Employees with Absolute Secure Endpoint & Lenovo
Founded in 1981, Infosys is a leading multinational consulting and IT services company, part of India’s Big Six IT firms. With over 300,000 employees and revenues exceeding $20 billion, Infosys provides cutting-edge digital transformations to global clients, supported by a vast, dynamic hybrid workforce.
Protecting Endpoints Everywhere
Infosys Group (Infosys Limited & Infosys BPM) partnered with Lenovo to undertake one of the largest-ever deployments of Absolute Secure Endpoint.
During the pandemic, Infosys underwent a major transformation, equipping its entire workforce with laptops to work remotely. While this move brought invaluable flexibility, it also introduced significant security challenges.
With thousands of employees moving between home, work, and client sites, tracking devices became increasingly difficult, straining the IT team’s ability to monitor and protect its vast fleet of endpoints.
Recognizing these challenges, Lenovo stepped in with a creative and dedicated approach. Leveraging Infosys’s surplus CapEx budget from an earlier period of hardware oversupply, Lenovo negotiated a unique perpetual software license for Absolute Secure Endpoint.
Lenovo leveraged their relationship with Absolute Security to secure a one-of-a-kind licensing agreement to make the economics work for us.
How They Did It
Making History with Lenovo and Absolute Security
Seeking to strengthen endpoint management, Infosys turned to Absolute Security as its trusted partner in cyber resilience. With Absolute Security’s platform, Infosys was able to ensure persistent endpoint visibility, protection, and recover, maintaining business continuity in the face of evolving threats.
Navigating Commercial Complexities with Trusted Partners
Thanks to years of close collaboration, Lenovo had gained deep knowledge of the specific technology environment and commercial situation at Infosys.
Lenovo negotiated a highly unique perpetual software license for Absolute Secure Endpoint. Because Absolute Security typically licenses its products on a software-as-a-service basis, this required special executive approval. Lenovo offered competitive pricing, helping Infosys secure more than 360,000 licenses through the Lenovo ThinkShield portfolio, delivering resilient endpoint protection and operational cost-efficiency at enterprise scale.
