You're ready to deploy rugged
Android devices in your
business...but managing Android
security updates isn't easy.

In just 10 short years, Android has become the world’s leading
mobile operating system, rising from 5% to 87% of the world’s
marketshare between 2010 and 2020.1 The same intuitive touch
applications that made consumers embrace Android serve the
business world well, simplifying processes, increasing worker
productivity and practically eliminating the need for training.
But unlike the consumer world, keeping Android updated to
secure your mobile devices in the business world is challenging.
Consumers receive notifications of updates that they can accept
with the press of a finger. But implementing OS security updates
is more complex in the business world.

You need visibility as soon as updates become available, and
you need to identify which Zebra devices are eligible for the
updates. You need to validate that your apps will work on the
updated version — and you need time to complete any required
app modifications, before updates are performed or Google
discontinues security updates on the older version of Android
installed on your devices. You need a way to easily execute
updates so your devices can remain in the hands of your workers —
instead of your technical support staff. You need a way to manage
the update process so that you can be sure all devices are updated
in a timely manner to eliminate security threats. You'll need to keep
track of the versions of Android in your Zebra devices. And you'll
need OS security support throughout the entire multi-year long
lifecycle of your Zebra rugged enterprise mobile devices.

LifeGuardTM for AndroidTM does it all.

LifeGuard for Android — the easy way to keep
your rugged Zebra Android devices secure,
every day of their extended lifecycle.
