  • Android 14 will introduce two important changes to protect against cellular network attacks.
  • Android Enterprise customers will be able to restrict a device’s ability to downgrade to 2G connectivity.
  • The software will also protect users’ voice and SMS traffic if carriers don’t use encryption or integrity protection.

Google has published a blog post detailing the new security measures in Android 14 to protect users against cellular attacks. The new software gives users even more control over 2G network usage and other connectivity aspects that malicious entities could exploit to intercept voice and SMS traffic.
