Appurity attends an exclusive event
Appurity was one of 137 partners invited to attend this year’s Google Summit. Altogether, there were only 350 attendees hailing from more than 30 countries around the world.
The focus of this exclusive event was new developments in Android Enterprise technologies. This included advances in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and virtual reality (VR). Google also revealed the very latest information about Android Q (version 10).
“Google Protect verifies 50 billion apps every day. But this doesn’t negate the need for devices to be equipped with mobile threat prevention products, such as Lookout“
Mobile Security Report
Google pointed out that in Gartner’s latest mobile security report, which evaluates various operating systems and devices, Android 9 receives strong ratings in 26 of 30 categories (including 12 out of 13 for corporate device management). Whereas iOS only received strong ratings in 18 categories. So, the message implied by Google is that Android is more secure than iOS, according to the report.
