About Android
Security
Android takes a multi-layered approach to device security.
Prevent
Google Play store apps are constantly virus-scanned to ensure they are safe to install on your
device. You can also install apps from other verified sources.
Control
App sandboxes keep apps from accessing other parts of your device operating system, or each
other, unless you allow them to do so (during the installation process). Screen lock and encryption
helps to prevent the device from unauthorized access.
Defend
Once identified, dangerous apps can be removed remotely.
