Isolation on Android is still a problem. Currently only 1 in 10 devices has the latest version of the app, which is a 90% of standard devices. In addition to Android versions, there are important security issues, which allow devices to upgrade their firmware without having to go to a newer version of Android.
A study by SRLabs, a German security group, brought some good news to the security section of the paper. The number of days it takes for distributors to be reduced, as well as highlighting which manufacturers are the best in the industry.
Google and Nokia are leading security holes
SRL conducted an investigation from 2018 to today, to determine the status of the security industry on Android. Specifically, they say the median number of days in 2018 to receive a monthly security deposit was 44 days, and by 2020 it was 38 days. This time includes because Google publishes the pool until the manufacturer installs it firmware.
The data, though it may seem small in terms of days, says 15% improvement in times of security paint delivery According to German data, it's a pretty good number considering the two-year time horizon and major cracks that exist on Android.
Google, Nokia and Sony are the fastest growing security devices, followed by Samsung, LG and Huawei. Some companies have regular renewals for more than a month
The company expresses that Google, Nokia and Sony have been the fastest developers to integrate security patches on Android, while Xiaomi, HTC and Vivo have been slower when it comes to adding them to the firmware. Specifically, Google, Nokia and Sony introduced themselves quickly, and firms such as Motorola, OnePlus, HTC or Xiaomi took more than 1 month to process (on average). Excellent work done by Samsung, Huawei and LG, with the average installation of security measures over a period of about two weeks.
In the same way, be interested in the data they provide about suburban disintegration. As devices discover newer versions of Android, manufacturers prioritize updates to these versions, leaving the terminals with older versions of Android with older patches. However, data is improving compared to 2018.
It is also important to recognize that manufacturers skip a few uses, as it has reduced the rate of pound jump from 0.7% to 0.3%. This is not about manufacturers skipping startups, but that not all of their work is done on firmware. Producers no longer skip (much) all patch news, thereby lowering the rating.
