Part of the beauty of Android is its openness. It’s one of the many reasons why I would rather snag a Pixel or Galaxy device ahead of an iPhone. I can choose which default apps to employ, where I get them from, how I set up my phone, and even circumvent some restrictions if I’m feeling particularly spicy. A shortcoming of this borderless design is that Android users can often inadvertently set up an environment with potential security issues.
As is so often the case with Android, that particular problem also breeds opportunity, and a new open-source app has jumped in to help Google solve it. It’s called Droynis, and it’s the security auditing tool that should’ve been a part of Android all along.
