Google has introduced Advanced Protection mode for Android, aimed at combating a growing threat from mercenary malware and exploitation services. Set to launch with Android 16, this mode offers enhanced security features to combat attacks that tap calls and deliver scams via messaging services. The core features include Intrusion Logging, USB protection, and Scam Detection integration, targeting high-risk groups such as journalists and public officials. While powerful, users should note that enabling these features may affect device performance.
Advanced Protection mode is designed to significantly enhance security for Android users against attacks like spyware and scams.
The mode primarily targets high-risk users such as journalists and officials, providing them necessary protections against sophisticated hacking techniques.
Google's product manager emphasized that the new security features can impede performance but are critical for those most vulnerable to cyber threats.
Intrusion Logging and USB protection are key features of the Advanced Protection, aimed at securing sensitive data against infection and theft.
