You may remember that Samsung’s KNOX security brings enterprise-level security to many of its popular devices. LG today announced that LG GATE will be coming to the V10 as it has with some of its previous devices. It aims to meet the United States Federal Government standards with FIPS 140-2 device encryption. It also meets the AES-256 security standards.
The LG V10 also has an additional layer of security that many new devices have been seeing lately–fingerprint scanning. While it does provide an extra level of obstruction for getting into your device, fingerprint scanning has never been dubbed the most reliable form of security. As far as smartphones go, it’s more of a convenience thing.
LG GATE will bring some very nice enterprise-level security to the scene, however, folks need to keep in mind that it won’t protect you from anything. Sure, it’ll keep you safe from outside intrusions, but as far as viruses and malware go, nothing beats common sense. Make sure to stay off of questionable websites and don’t download anything that seems risky in the slightest.
Between LG GATE and taking personal precautions, the LG V10 will be one secure device. Anyone plan on picking one up when it arrives in the US?
