Provenance
Digitally signed statement of conformance for every platform attests to authenticity of platform as-built during manufacturing.
Traceability
Platform certificates linked to the discrete Trusted Platform Module (TPM) provide system-level traceability.
Assurance
The Auto Verify utility compares the “snapshot” of the direct platform data taken during manufacturing with a “snapshot” of the platform components taken at first boot to help detect tampering.
Accountability
Component-level traceability via Direct Platform Data File contains all L9 integrated components including processor, storage, memory, and add-in cards.
Ensuring Device Security from the Factory Floor Through End of Life
With the expansion of data centers, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things, ensuring trust in the supply chain has become more important than ever. Intel Tiber Transparent Supply Chain helps enhance security for everything from sourcing components to distribution of the final product.
LenovoThinkShield Build Assure is built on Intel® Tiber™ Transparent Supply Chain. Lenovo’s collaboration with Intel extends from motherboard production through the factory floor to customer platforms, enabling customers to verify the authenticity of components, installed firmware, and system configuration.

Intel Tiber Transparent Supply Chain Use Cases
Detect Potential Threats Before They Affect Your Network
Detecting changes and verifying system configuration helps mitigate the risk of counterfeit components and malicious hardware, tampering during transit, and even espionage or sabotage, adding a layer of protection to both the device and the company’s network.
Intel Tiber Transparent Supply Chain allows you to verify platform certificate validity. This helps mitigate risks related to counterfeit components, tampering, supply chain transparency, and insider threats, while helping ensure regulatory compliance.
Proving the Integrity and Security of Your Infrastructure
Owning the entire stack—including the network and infrastructure used to deliver services—offers the opportunity to provide unique solutions and gives control over the end-to-end experience and functionality. It also means you must demonstrate the integrity and security of your infrastructure to potential customers.
That’s where Intel Tiber Transparent Supply Chain comes in. It is designed to provide evidence of hardware integrity to relying parties, verify the authenticity of infrastructure components, and strengthen compliance with security controls.
