Lenovo is adding SentinelOne’s Prompt Security to its ThinkShield security portfolio in Singapore and other Asia Pacific markets.
The tool gives companies a way to monitor how employees use AI and to set rules on what data staff can share with it, as reported by Tech in Asia.
Lenovo said the product allows security teams to identify shadow AI use. It also prevents employees from sharing sensitive data with unauthorised AI apps.
The tool protects against prompt injection attacks, where attackers hide malicious instructions in inputs to manipulate how an AI model behaves.
How Lenovo is extending its SentinelOne partnership
The rollout extends Lenovo’s existing collaboration with SentinelOne, a California-based cybersecurity company, on endpoint security. SentinelOne completed its acquisition of Prompt Security in September 2025.
Hong Kong-listed Lenovo cited research indicating that 90% of IT leaders recognise gaps in their ability to defend against AI-driven threats.
Why shadow AI matters for Singapore’s financial sector
Survey data suggests the practice is common. In a PagerDuty survey, 66% of office workers said they had used AI tools at work despite believing this was not permitted under company policy. The survey covered workers in Australia, Japan, the UK and the US.
Singapore regulators are paying closer attention to how AI systems handle personal data.
The Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) issued draft guidelines on personal data use in generative AI in June 2026 and published the final advisory guidelines in July.
Singapore’s banks have flagged related risks.
A whitepaper from the MAS-backed MindForge consortium, whose members include DBS, OCBC and UOB, listed prompt injection among the security risks generative AI poses for banks.
