To this end, Google India on Monday announced its public safety initiative called #SecurityCheckKiya, asking people to take simple, yet vital actions to safeguard their Android devices from malicious apps as well as secure their personal data if they lose their device. The initiative has been undertaken keeping in mind a large base of unsuspecting first-time internet users. Speaking about it, Sunita Mohanty, Google India's director for trust and safety, said, "Just like in the physical world, where we are careful about the information we share with strangers, users in India should take precautions while engaging with the online world. While security is built into all Google services, keeping the web safe for everyone is a shared responsibility."
"Through our initiative, we want to nudge internet users to take action to safeguard themselves, because the first step toward a safer internet starts with them. We are asking users to get started on their journey by securing their data and devices, by asking them #SecurityCheckKiya," she added.
