Mobile Security

Mobile security apps protect smartphones and tablets from malware, phishing attacks, unsafe Wi-Fi networks, and app-based threats, with Android devices facing significantly more risk than iOS. They are most important for Android users who install apps from outside the Google Play Store, and for anyone who frequently connects to public Wi-Fi. Look for features like anti-phishing URL scanning, app permission auditing, and remote lock or wipe capabilities in case your device is lost or stolen.
