"Google Boosts Android's Malware Defenses with AI and Real-Time Scanning"

Google is enhancing its Play Protect malware protection system for Android to detect and combat polymorphic malware that leverages techniques like artificial intelligence (AI) to avoid detection. In addition to existing scanning intelligence and on-device machine learning, Play Protect will recommend a real-time app scan for newly installed apps that haven't been scanned before. Google Play Protect, available on most Android devices, scans 125 billion apps daily to prevent the spread of malware. The new scanning feature is being rolled out in select countries, starting with India, and will be available globally in the coming months.
