Everyone knows that smartphones equipped with Android are the ones that are vulnerable to attacks and security problems. Google tries to brands contradict this scenario, but so far not succeeded.
A Duo Security Company study shows, in detail, the Android scene in the security field and reveals that Huawei is of all brands, the best that can keep your devices up to date.
increasingly known flaws and vulnerabilities in Android and its devices. With each new failure the latest equipment are affected and end up not being updated.
The idea of Google and manufacturers releasing security updates, come give some security to users, but the truth is still the numbers are far from what would be expected.
updates on the Android universe
the figures presented by Duo Security show the reality of Android. Of all equipment in use, 32% are unable to receive security updates for having too old Android versions. This is a worrying number and that Google can not reverse.
For the rest of the equipment, said Duo more than half (51%) are running versions of Android that did not receive the latest security updates. Globally only 17% run versions of Android with the applied security updates.
The Duo also states that according to their data, 3 out of 10 Android devices are vulnerable to 24 critical vulnerabilities that Google tried since the beginning of the year.
manufacturers and security updates
the market dominance by Samsung puts it in a top position with regard to the availability of updates. Calls to you that 60% of the total equipment have at least one security update, leaving far behind the competition. But this list already stands out Huawei that can be in the fifth position, almost equivalent to the HTC and only with Motorola and LG above you
But this scenario picture changes when evaluating the equipment with the latest security updates. It is here that Huawei can have a total control, with almost 80% of the equipment to be updated with the very latest exists on Android in terms of security.
The papers here are inverted and Samsung is below the LG, Motorola, OnePlus and Huawei itself.
in addition to Google’s struggle for manufacturers to update their devices to the latest versions of Android, comes now another problem associated with security updates, which once again are being forgotten or ignored.
it is up to manufacturers and operators to ensure that the equipment that they supply are given the necessary security updates, something you know is not the case and that once again proved.
