I am going to discuss some tips which will helps you to secure your android mobile.Now maybe you are thinking that how your android mobile is unsecured ?. So let me remind you again in my previous article titled Do You Know What Is Android ? i have told you that android operating software is an open source system it means android operating system is running on different devices of different brands like HTC, Samsung, Qmobile and Huawei. The disadvantage of using android operating system on different brands in result of that, no two devices that are running on two different brands are the same and , that means protecting a single device from the other device of same type is different too. However maybe you have read it before that iOS opreating system runs only on the APPLE devices so that devices are secured enough but don't lose your hope android developers have introduced Google android security system that helps the users to protect their android mobile phone.
1 : Android Security Features : Built-In
As i have told before in my previous article that android is a Linux-based operating system.So as a Linux-based operating system android operating system has built-in functions like file system permission and the encryption.File system permission function have explained some rules (built-in) that tells that a device have permission to access the some specific organization files from the system.In simple words you can say that there are limits and rules are applied on the device to access the some specific files of the operating system not the all one. And when it comes to encryption so it means that encryption uses a password and a kernel - level advanced encryption standard algorithm to verify that which app has access to use which part ( hardware) of the device.2: Dual Persona and Separate Work Feature :
Dual persona is one of the android security feature that means that it turn one device into two devices, one for the work and seconds for the personal use.While you are taking about the personal side so it means that information technology have no control on it, it is totally depended on the user's domain on the other hand work side means that admins have access to create security policies, install apps and moving the app between the approves or disapproves area.There is an other feature of android that is it creates the separate work profiles for the user.It also gives the access to IT to control the device remotely and you can wipe your device without the worry of losing personal data.
3: Android For Work :
To provide better mobile security Android For Work brings a variety of services that is used to protect and control the devices.With the help of Work profiles users can feel comfortable because it will let you feel free from the threat of personal apps corrupting.Android For Work provides the user to access the productivity apps like Google Drive on where users can work on business documents within the encrypted environment.It also allows user to upgrade the apps and implement the security upgrades without user permission.
4: Android VS iOS:
As i have explained above that iOS provides more security to the users as compared to the android. iOS provides more security and management capabilities ,For Example if we campare iOS to Android 5.0, In android encryption can be turned of by simply hard resetting the device however in iOS encryption can not be turned off.Data management in iOS is much better then Android,In android admin have access to manage the data that is runs on the managed device while admin don't have any control on the data that is running on the unmanaged device.
