State launches free app to protect mobile devices from threats

The state of Michigan is now providing residents access to a free mobile application that can detect threats to their mobile devices.

The Michigan Secure app alerts an individual of suspicious activity on their mobile device, allowing them to interact with the digital world with greater confidence.

Michigan Secure empowers users by informing them of the threats they encounter as they interact with an increasingly technology-driven world.
The application warns users if the Wi-Fi they are trying to connect to could be compromised.

It can also scan other Android mobile apps for potential threats and alert users before they are downloaded. Michigan Secure even has a database of potential threat indicators to notify individuals of activity on their phone that matches a documented threat.

The app does not collect, store, or monitor the personal information of users that download it. according to officials.

The app’s code and privacy configuration settings have received the approval of the American Civil Liberties Union for the way they protect
individual privacy.

Michigan Secure is available for mobile devices running iOS 11 or higher, Android 6.0 or higher, and Chromebooks with Android Apps Support.
It can be downloaded on the App Store or Google Play.
