According to Google, only a percentage of less than 1% of Android-powered devices have installed Potentially Harmful App or PHA (meaning potentially harmful applications).
The Android platform is known to follow the reputation of the operating system which is full of malicious software.
Ο Adrian Ludwig Google's chief security officer, reported a series of legends about operating system malware and spyware in a speech he made yesterday at the RSA Conference.
Μεταξύ αυτών, τόνισε και ορισμένες από τις υποθέσεις που κυκλοφορούν στο Internet and refer to the ever-increasing prevalence of malware, that most devices are not protected, and that all malware can put devices at risk.
Ο Ludwig με αυτό τον τρόπο ουσιαστικά δήλωσε ότι όλοι οι χρήστες του Android διαθέτουν ενσωματωμένα συστήματα προστασίας στο λειτουργικό τους. Ο ειδικός ασφαλείας του λειτουργικού της Google με λίγα λόγια δήλωσε ότι το κακόβουλο λογισμικό για cell phones can be classified and isolated, and that mobile malware is not actually growing.
Google's goal to keep Android safe is to make the best security tools available on the platform - whatever the cost - and then make these services available to everyone free of charge, Ludwig promised.
The Android Security Model looks like the basic diagram of a typical product safety model. In the case of Android, it consists of platform security, application isolation, device integrity, and business services (also known as Android for Work).
Ludwig pointed out that there are millions of lines of code in the Android Open Source, hundreds of OEMs, ISVs and security solutions within the Android system.
In terms of security, the company's strategy continues to use many different ways.
Some of the original warranties used by Google include app verification and Android's security net, which has been scanned and verified over a billion devices in the last year, according to ZDNet.
Only a percentage of less than one percent of the devices have been found to have a potentially harmful App (PHA) installed, according to the company.
As expected, its increased usability Google Play results in the reduction of PHA. The percentage of installed PHA was reduced by 50% 2014, Ludwig reported. Spyware installed has dropped to 90% since last year.
There are some exceptions to the rule, however. Describing "regional variations," Ludwig stressed that in Russia and China, PHA facilities are significantly higher.
"There is no uniformity in what users are experiencing," Ludwig said, reiterating that findings can vary by geography. region.
