The Android Security 2015 Annual Report Google has announced the availability of the Android security 2015 year in review [PDF]. "Android’s open source model has also allowed device manufacturers to introduce new security capabilities. Samsung KNOX, for example, has taken advantage of unique hardware capabilities to strengthen the root of trust on Samsung devices. Samsung has also introduced new kernel monitoring capabilities on their Android devices. Samsung is not unique in their contributions to the Android ecosystem. Blackberry has worked to enhance the security of their devices by enabling kernel hardening and other features in the Blackberry PRIV. CopperheadOS has both introduced security improvements to their own version of Android and made significant contributions to the Android Open Source Project. These are just some of the various contributions made possible through open sourcing that improved the Android ecosystem in 2015." |
