• Administrator password and a power-on password in UEFI
• Onboard Trusted Platform Module (TPM) supporting TPM 2.0 enables advanced cryptographic functionality in the operating system and applications.

The server is NIST SP 800-193 compliant.

Ordering information for the security components is listed in the following table.

System Lockdown Mode

System Lockdown Mode is an optional security feature of the SE100 that ensures that the system is only used by its intended recipient and that all data and applications remains secure.

System Lockdown Mode is an optional feature that can be remotely managed in two ways:

• ThinkShield Key Vault Portal Managed. This provides a centralised remote management approach, allowing the administrator to remotely managed multiple systems and to register ownership of systems to their company, which reduces the system’s value is stolen.
• XClarity Controller Managed. This provides remote management level control to an individual system using XCC web interface, OneCLI or Redfish.

To select ThinkShield Key Vault Portal Managed in factory orders, select feature BYBR, as listed in the following table. The default in DCSC is to select XClarity Controller Managed, feature BYBQ.

If System Lockdown is enabled in the factory, the system will be delivered in system lockdown mode and will require activation before operation. There are three ways the server can be activated:

• Using a mobile device (iOS or Android) connect to the server to the USB management port on the rear of the server (USB-C with XCC USB2.0) and running the ThinkShield Edge Mobile Management app.
• Connecting the system to the Internet via the XCC management port on the rear of the server (RJ45 for MGMT) and accessing the ThinkShield Key Vault Portal from a web browser on another system.
• In a disconnected mode, where neither a mobile device or an internet connection to the SE100 are available.

For more information, see ThinkEdge Security, available from:
https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1725-thinkedge-security

The SE100 offers a Security LED that indicates the status of the server:

• LED on: Security is enabled; System is operational.
• LED blinking: Security is enabled and the server is in lockdown, either due to being delivered from the factory in lockdown mode or has entered lockdown as a result of a tamper event. System must be activated or reactivated before becoming operational.
• LED off: Security is disabled; System is operational.

SED encryption in factory orders

The SE100 also optionally supports enabling SED drive encryption in the factory using feature BYBS as listed in the following table. This feature enables SED on the selected drives and sets and SED Authentication Key (SED AK).

System Guard

The System Guard feature takes a snapshot of the hardware component inventory as trusted reference, then monitors for any deviation from the reference snapshot. 

When deviation occurs, it can report an event to the user, optionally, can also prevent the server from booting into the OS and prompt the user for response.

• System Guard is only enabled with XCC2 on V3 code 
• Server supports this feature (BUT2) when XCC Platinum enabled only.
• The System Guard feature is disabled by default

System Guard is a feature of XCC Platinum. Sytem Guard (BUT2) should only be selectable if XCC Platinum (BRPJ) is selected.

Platform Firmware Resiliency - Lenovo ThinkShield

Lenovo's ThinkShield Security is a transparent and comprehensive approach to security that extends to all dimensions of our data center products: from development, to supply chain, and through the entire product lifecycle.

The ThinkEdge SE100 includes Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) hardware Root of Trust (RoT) which enables the system to be NIST SP800-193 compliant. This offering further enhances key platform subsystem protections against unauthorized firmware updates and corruption, to restore firmware to an integral state, and to closely monitor firmware for possible compromise from cyber-attacks.

PFR operates upon the following server components:

• UEFI image – the low-level server firmware that connects the operating system to the server hardware
• XCC image – the management “engine” software that controls and reports on the server status separate from the server operating system
• FPGA image – the code that runs the server’s lowest level hardware controller on the motherboard

The Lenovo Platform Root of Trust Hardware performs the following three main functions:

• Detection – Measures the firmware and updates for authenticity
• Recovery – Recovers a corrupted image to a known-safe image
• Protection – Monitors the system to ensure the known-good firmware is not maliciously written

These enhanced protection capabilities are implemented using a dedicated, discrete security processor whose implementation has been rigorously validated by leading third-party security firms. Security evaluation results and design details are available for customer review – providing unprecedented transparency and assurance.

The SE100 includes support for Secure Boot, a UEFI firmware security feature developed by the UEFI Consortium that ensures only immutable and signed software are loaded during the boot time. The use of Secure Boot helps prevent malicious code from being loaded and helps prevent attacks, such as the installation of rootkits. Lenovo offers the capability to enable secure boot in the factory, to ensure end-to-end protection. Alternatively, Secure Boot can be left disabled in the factory, allowing the customer to enable it themselves at a later point, if desired.

The following table lists the relevant feature code(s).
