Security Tips for Android Users : Security is a major concern many people have in this modern technological era. With more and more people using android devices, the mobile industry is becoming more appealing to would-be hackers and data phishers. I believe that anything can be “hacked”, to use the term loosely. There’s no such thing as 100% security when it comes to something as vast and interconnected as the world wide web.

If you want to use the Android OS on tablets or mobiles for business, security will have to be your number one priority. Follow these security tips and Android will become a much more secure android operating system. Also read this post How to Secure Your Smartphone

Security Tips for Android Users

1 ) Avoid public WiFi when possible

I’m not saying that public WiFi is a big security threat, it’s not. But when I want to do any online banking, I always do so from my own personal WiFi at home. Or my smartphone’s data plan. I never do online banking on a public WiFi network, where many other strangers can easily connect to it as well. I’m not educated in the field of cyber security, but when you want to send sensitive information online, like your online banking account password to your bank’s servers, it just makes sense to do so from a network you trust (like your home network) rather than a public network that hundreds of people (including data phishers) have access to, doesn’t it?

2 ) Activate Android Device Manager

In addition to the malware scanner mentioned earlier, Google also pushed the Android Device Manager, again via Google Play Services to all Android devices. ADM is a service that aims to help users who have lost their device. It will allow users to locate their device, lock it, or wipe it clean regardless of where it is. Activating ADM on your device is extremely easy. All you need to do is go into the Google Settings app (not to be confused with your device’s Settings app), go to “Android Device Manager” and enable both options that are displayed. This will allow you to remotely locate your device, lock it, erase it, and even make it ring on full volume. To access ADM from the web, go to . From there you will be able to use all the features you just activated on your device. You can also access ADM from the Play Store on the web. On the Play Store home page, click the settings button (the gear) located in the top right corner of the page (beneath your user bar) and select Android Device Manager. With this service fully enabled, hopefully you will be able to soften the blow if you unfortunately lose your device.

3 ) Disable app downloads from unknown sources

The easiest way to get infected with malware on an Android phone or tablet is to start installing apps from outside the official Google Play app store. In the Settings menu of any standard Android device is a check box that enables and disables installing ‘unofficial’ apps. An Android that keeps itself legit is far safer.

4 ) Download an anti-malware app

Now that Android malware and viruses are a widely-recognised part of the smartphone world, there are many solutions to combat them. Most of the big antivirus (AV) companies have their own Android anti-malware apps, including Kaspersky, AVG, Avast and Norton. Recommended free Android AV apps include Lookout (where there is also a premium version available) and TrustGo.

5 ) Keep all sensitive data behind an extra encryption layer

Keeping sensitive information logged in a generic note on a phone or tablet is a bad idea. There are plenty of apps that will store information behind a double wall of password protection and encryption. Download mSecure or File Hide Expert.

6 ) Always Use Chrome browser

Since Android 4.1 was introduced, phones and tablets have come with the stock Android browser as well as Chrome installed as standard. Chrome is marginally more secure than the stock version, having been subject to fewer publicised insecurities in recent months. It is also likely that Chrome for Android is being more keenly worked on, its pre-installed status marking it out as the future default browser for Android.
