McAfee improves Mobile Security for Android : McAfee announced that it has delivered the industry’s first ever whitelisting security solution for Android based embedded systems. McAfee Application Control for Android is the only security solution that resides in the Android kernel, embedded in the operating system. McAfee provides protection from the installation or execution of a malicious application on an Android-based device. McAfee also provides protection at the application layer to Android devices. The McAfee Embedded Control solution provides tamper proof protection, superior operational control of devices in the field and ease of management with Android devices. Previously, embedded engineers had only a single operating system option - Security- Enhanced Linux (SELinux)– if they wanted to have enforceable security capabilities for their embedded system.
