Google provides an Android Security State of the Union report

2015-04-03 by Jason

Google provided an Android Security State of the Union 2014 yesterday. It addresses steps they have taken to make Android a safe ecosystem and how they responded to learning of new vulnerabilities. The result is a 44 page report available as a PDF.

It’s lengthy, so if you’ve only got a minute, we pulled out a few of the key findings here:

  • Over 1 billion devices are protected with Google Play which conducts 200 million security scans of devices per day.
  • Fewer than 1% of Android devices had a Potentially Harmful App (PHA) installed in 2014. Fewer than 0.15% of devices that only install from Google Play had a PHA installed.
  • The overall worldwide rate of Potentially Harmful Application (PHA) installs decreased by nearly 50% between Q1 and Q4 2014.
  • SafetyNet checks over 400 million connections per day for potential SSL issues.
  • Android and Android partners responded to 79 externally reported security issues, and over 25,000 applications in Google Play were updated following security notifications from Google Play.
