About Android Security
Android takes a multi-layered approach to the security.
• Prevent: Apps on Google Play are scanned
continuously to block harmful apps and policy
violators. You can also choose to have apps
installed from other sources veried.
• Control: App sandboxes keep apps from accessing
other parts of your device’s operating system,
or each other, unless you give permission at
installation. Screen lock and encryption helps to
prevent an unauthorized access to the entire device.
• Defend: Once identied, dangerous apps can be
removed remotely.
