LG to implement monthly security update policy
Joining a list of companies shaken by the Stagefright vulnerability on Android, LG has announced they will be implementing a new policy to issue security updates on a monthly basis. This strategy is similar to one recently announced by Google for their Nexus devices as well as other smartphone manufacturers like Samsung.
According to a statement made to WIRED,
“LG will be providing security updates on a monthly basis which carriers will then be able to make available to customers immediately. We believe these important steps will demonstrate to LG customers that security is our highest priority.”
Besides the potential harm to the brand from any perceived weaknesses in the Android operating system running on their devices, LG is trying to establish itself as a source of smartphones for the U.S. government, so a commitment to security is a key ingredient to success with that effort.
