Google has announced that they will be <\/span>introducing a collection of new security features<\/span><\/a> for Android phone users. While some of these features are aimed squarely at enterprise users, a number of new additions will be welcomed by consumers looking to remain more secure while browsing the web on their mobile devices.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Features to Secure Your Online Life
\n<\/b>For starters, the company will be including new anti-phishing capabilities based on machine learning algorithms from Gmail user scenarios. The service will now be able to flag emails as suspicious; it can also alert you to odd attachment files that may pose a threat. It can be a tiring practice to be on your toes continually looking out for malware, so these new features could be quite beneficial. <\/span><\/p>\n

The anti-phishing system will also be able to scan images and expand shortened URLs in order to look for signs of malicious content. Basically, while you browse your Gmail inbox, Google has implemented a collection of new tools to watch your back. Of course, that doesn\u2019t mean you shouldn\u2019t keep your eyes peeled for trouble!<\/span><\/p>\n

Advanced Changes to Google\u2019s Backend
\n<\/b>Other changes introduced include modifications made to Google\u2019s Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution, which offers new mechanisms that detect how a user interacts with the platform. On a security level, it monitors strange activity, like logging in from halfway around the world, or sending emails that don\u2019t sound like you. These occurrences will be noted by the system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember: Keep Your Eyes Open!
\n<\/b>Overall, Google has introduced new security protocols that many users will find useful. However, it\u2019s important to note that a basic patch of security doesn\u2019t give complete protection. In fact, <\/span>Google Play Protect<\/span><\/a>, an essential part of the Android ecosystem continues to fail third-party testing by independent security firm, AV-TEST.<\/span><\/p>\n

To make sure your entire Google life is safe and secure it\u2019s worth downloading a third-party app such as <\/span>dfndr security<\/span><\/span><\/a> to watch your back. With features including full virus scanning abilities, anti-phishing fueled by AI, along with cleanup and performance features – it really is an excellent option to keep you moving forward. Go ahead, try it!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
