At ProDVX, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the curve in delivering innovative, reliable, and secure panel PC solutions to the professional market. As Technical Director, I am excited to introduce a major advancement in our offering: ProDVX ProSECURE — a solution that directly addresses one of the most pressing concerns for our enterprise customers: long-term Android security.
Across industries, we’re seeing a growing demand for devices running the latest Android versions. This trend is driven not only by the need for modern features, but more critically by corporate security policies that mandate up-to-date software.
However, despite this push, many developers still prefer older Android versions, as newer iterations often introduce complex security policies and rights management that complicate development. Existing applications are not always compatible with the latest versions and can require significant redevelopment to function properly.
As a result, there remains strong market demand for Android versions that are already approaching — or even at — the end of their official support window from Google.
While newer Android versions typically come with improved security architecture, it’s important to recognise that older versions, having undergone years of scrutiny, often benefit from a well-documented patch history and robust maturity.
But therein lies the challenge: Google’s security patch lifecycle for Android versions generally ends 4 to 5 years after a version’s consumer release. In the professional sphere, adoption tends to lag behind the consumer market, often by two or more years.
This timing mismatch results in a narrow window of official security support, leaving businesses exposed to unnecessary risk — or forced into premature hardware replacements. This is where ProSECURE becomes a game changer.
With ProSECURE, we extend the security lifecycle of our Android-based devices by an additional 3 years beyond Google’s official patch support.
Our dedicated in-house team continuously monitors emerging threats and delivers relevant security patches, where applicable, long after Google’s support ends. This means our customers can continue using their ProDVX hardware with confidence, knowing their devices remain secure and compliant for the long term.
ProSECURE represents our commitment to professional-grade longevity, reliability, and peace of mind — ensuring that our partners stay protected in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
