Security

Leading device and data protection.

Defence in depth.

Each layer of defence works together to make the whole ecosystem stronger. We start by building a secure OS, and making sure that device makers meet our strict hardware standards.

Then, we add security services on top to help prevent leaks and hacks. And finally, we give you control over the entire fleet of devices. Because a wall is good. But a fortress is better.

Device protection.

Android devices come with security already built in. To start, security functions run in a trusted execution environment (TEE) to make sure that the OS stays safe. Like protected lock screen and data encryption. And sandboxing to keep apps separate and data clean. It’s always on and always running. Just boot up and start working.

    
    Highlights

    Verified Boot alerts you to OS compromises when you start up.

    Anti-exploitation techniques prevent vulnerabilities from becoming exploitable.

    Critical security functions happen in the TEE separate from the OS.

Google security services.

Employees can use their devices while minimizing risks to the whole business. Download apps without downloading threats. Change settings without threatening security. User data is protected and company data is kept separate. It’s a one-two punch: protected hardware, plus an extra layer of risk mitigation.

    
    Highlights

    Google Play Protect detects and blocks malware threats.

    Google Safe Browsing protects you from malware and phishing.

    SafetyNet API checks managed devices before they can access data.

Enterprise controls.

Android puts you in control of every device in your fleet at once. Deploy devices and configure settings the way you want. Distribute only the apps that your employees should use. Even set up separate profiles to keep work data away from personal data.

    
    Highlights

    Deploy devices to enforce compliance across the business.

    Distribute and configure apps safely with managed Google Play.

    Work profile helps prevent leaks between personal and company data.
