No Android Gadgets In Office: The world’s biggest tech giant Microsoft has forbidden its employers in China from using Android phones. The whole world is surprised after this announcement of the company. According to Bloomberg report, Microsoft has taken this decision to avoid problems like cyber security and data breach.
Nowadays, many cases of data leaks keep coming to light across the world. The reason for this tough and big decision of Microsoft is being considered to be the problem of data leak. Not only this, according to reports, the company may take even more stringent steps regarding cyber security in its office in China. The company has instructed its employers to use Apple gadgets instead of Android devices.
Why did Microsoft take this decision?
According to reports, Microsoft requires Google Mobile Services (GMS) to manage security levels like Authenticator and Identity Pass. However, many Google services including Play Store do not work in China.
You can guess this from the fact that Apple has an iOS store in China, but Google Play Store is not available. In return, local smartphone brands like Huawei and Xiaomi have made their platforms available to the people. Experts believe that it is easy to hack Android devices. On top of that, the absence of Google Play in China is increasing Microsoft’s tension.
Will use iPhone, not Android
According to the company, discontinuing Android phones comes under its Secure Future Initiative. From now on, employers at Microsoft will use iPhone instead of Android for office work. According to the information, the company will ban access to devices running Android OS in its office campuses in China from September.
To make this decision easier, the company is giving iPhone 15 devices to the employees. It has also been told in the report that recently there were cyber attacks on American government agencies. Russia was being said to be behind it. These security steps are being taken to prevent any such cyber attacks.
