Distributed work is the new norm in today’s workplaces, with employees splitting their time between home, offices, coffee shops, and more. According to a recent report, 100 million employees worldwide have embraced the flexibility of hybrid work. In response to this change, businesses are seeking mobile technology solutions that balance workforce flexibility, business security, and device management to meet the challenges of this new era.

From streamlined device provisioning to robust protection and more control over Android devices, Android 15 for Business provides IT leaders with solutions and tools to navigate the complexities of modern work. Below are highlights of the main features and how they can benefit your business or organization.
Enhance protection for your employees and devices
New security and privacy features to help IT teams keep corporate data, employee data, and devices safe.
- Protect your stolen device with Android Anti-Theft. This suite of proactive security features includes Theft Detection Lock, which uses machine learning to automatically lock your device if it detects theft. Offline device lock. Protect your device when disconnected from the network for an extended period of time. Remote Lock allows employees to enter their phone number at android.com/lock to lock their device from anywhere in case the device is lost or stolen. These features are available on devices running Android 10 and above.
- Give your employees a private space within their personal profile. Employees can create a private space (a separate folder that requires a password or biometrics to unlock) within their personal profile to keep sensitive personal apps on work devices when working on the go. It can be protected.
- Easily review your security logs with the latest audit logging requirements. Events are migrated from Logcat to SecurityLog, making it easier for IT teams to review security logs, identify vulnerabilities, and ensure compliance. Enhanced audit logging allows organizations to more easily meet the latest National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) requirements.
