Android platform security keeps your devices, data and apps secure through:

Android platform security relies on fundamental architectural features. Application sandboxing isolates apps from each other and the system, preventing malicious apps from accessing or corrupting other data. Exploit mitigation techniques, such as Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and Data Execution Prevention (DEP), make it harder for attackers to exploit software vulnerabilities. Device encryption protects data at rest, rendering it unreadable without the correct decryption key. While antivirus applications can add a layer of security, they are not core platform security features. Forcing password changes or giving IT admins full visibility are security policies that can be implemented, but they are not inherent platform security mechanisms.
