On the other hand, few reports claimed that the latest operating system from Google will sport some of the best corporate-security enhancement features like the Always-on VPN, Work security challenge, Work mode, dialer tweaks, QR code provisions and remote bug reports.

CIO reported that the Always-on VPN is an IT security feature, which will enable the users to force few business-related applications to use a VPN in order to connect to the internet. Besides, the Work security challenge will help the Android Nougat users to set a complex passcode to protect certain work-related data.

Another security feature that will be provided to the Android Nougat users is the remote bug report option. It will also enable the device admin to request access to sensitive information.

Also, the latest Google OS is expected to provide the user's smartphones with the provision of direct boot option, stronger Media Server, and seamless software updates.
