During the Google for India 2023 event, experts spoke on how vital online safety is for bringing out the true potential of the digital landscape. “Across our products and services, we remain committed to building a secure digital environment and experience for all, doubling down our efforts to protect people against ever-evolving scams, malware, and fraud,” Google India Team’s official blog post stated.
With regards to Google’s commitment towards a protected digital environment, it announced about making investments in built-in protection since the start. “An example of this is Google Play Protect, our built-in, proactive protection against malware and unwanted software that scans 125 billion apps daily to help protect you from malware and unwanted software, on and off Play Store,” the post added. Reportedly, Google’s long-term investment in AI-enabled security combined with human intelligence has enabled prospects. In that context, Google Play has seemingly prevented scams worth Rs 12,000 crores.
In today’s Google for India 2023 event, beginning with India, Google disclosed plans for increasing the strength of Google Play Protect’s security potential. It’s believed that the development will take place through backing of real-time scanning at code-level to tackle malicious applications that make use of AI, to remain undetected. “Our investment in India is unwavering. And we are always looking for ways to help more people reap the benefits of technology to improve their lives,” the blog post concluded.
