For Ludwig, a Google Pixel and an iPhone have a similar level of protection, and says that coming soon Android will be even better than iOS in this topic.
although not detailed the measures that it will take Google in the future, yes revealed that only 1% of the Android devices come with some malware or mobile tools suspicious. The executive is based on data obtained by the system ‘Safety Net’, which analyzed 400 million devices and 6,000 applications a day.
in order To exemplify the security in Android used the known vulnerability ‘Stagefright’, which was detected in 2015, and affected at least 95% of Android terminals. However, Ludwig said he would not have seen that this malware take advantage of Stagefright to harm users.
Ludwig also said that while security has been improved in Android over the past year, pointed to the manufacturers and operators guilty of that users do not receive updates with security patches on time, and said that it should be faster at this point.
finally, it considered that the protection on Android has reached such a point that it is almost impossible for someone to attack a large number of computers at the same time.
