The most challenging aspect of supporting an always-connected, on-the-move workforce is securing mobile users’ dataand overall device usage activities. Poor security and support for mobile devices can leave businesses exposed to a range of breaches and intrusions. This makes trust a critical factor when choosing a mobile operating system and platform to deploy for a workforce, especially at a larger scale. To that end, Android has inherent security strengths built into the platform, coupled with powerful vulnerability and malicious app discovery cloud-based services (such as Verify Apps and Google Play Protect). IDC believes the Android OS, with its array of device-level and platform-based security safeguards, can meet enterprise security requirements for mobility across a wide range of use cases and deployment scenarios.
As organizations rush to digitally transform themselves—using technology to solve problems in new and innovative ways—a cornerstone of this transformation is mobility. IDC considers Android a strategic platform for digital transformation because it successfully addresses three key pillars of mobile technology adoption: underlying security, solution breadth, and usage/management balance.
