Do Androids Dream of Electric Fences?
summary
Practical steps to manage Android devices: require SafetyNet Attestation and recent security patches (Pixels get updates immediately; allow two major versions for basic access), enforce alphanumeric boot passwords for highly privileged access, disable Smart Lock, and require apps from Google Play with Verify Apps enforced. Use Android Management API or an Android Enterprise Recommended EMM (90‑day patch cadence for three years) to apply policies. Integrate a misplacement portal for automated remote wipe — Google reports mass misplaced-device incidents and finds zero tangible benefit from third‑party mobile AV.
