Android Enterprise security assessed by Gartner

Data and device security are among the most important aspects to any enterprise mobility initiative. With Android, we’ve invested in a wide range of protections, both on-device defenses and corporate-managed tools, to help companies keep their devices and data safe.

Gartner’s 2019 Mobile OSs and Device Security: A Comparison of Platforms report (subscription required) is a comprehensive assessment of mobile security controls and enterprise management features. The report helps security and risk management technical professionals through analysis of and recommendations for security controls of popular mobile device operating systems.

Android 9 received strong ratings in 26 of 30 categories, including 12 of the 13 categories in the corp-managed section.
