A mobile security policy requires that all Android devices have 'Verify Apps' (Play Protect) enabled. A user asks if this means all apps on their device are safe. What is the accurate response?
- A.Yes, the scanner examines each application in real time and blocks anything harmful before it runs, because the analysis happens on the handset as well as in the cloud: the user can treat an installed application as verified, with the store's own review adding a second pass ahead of publication
- B.The scanner runs while the handset is on a wireless network, and a device on cellular data is unscanned because the vendor limits the traffic it generates: the user should connect to a network regularly
- C.Play Protect provides significant protection by scanning apps for known malware signatures and suspicious behavior, but it is not 100% effective. Novel malware, zero-days, and sophisticated evasion techniques can bypass detection; it is a defense-in-depth layer, not a complete guarantee
