N2 - The use of Smartphones in business has grown in the recent years bringing new ways to create and share information. Among the operating systems used by smartphones, Android has the most growing usage rate. Most recent Android versions have some security controls; however, there is a lack in the use of strong security controls for Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), which is the most spread version of this operating system. This leaves vulnerable company and user information stored in such devices. This work presents how to improve Android's security by adding more security controls to devices using the version 2.3 and by this way meet the security levels needed for the business and secure users environments. The security polices where added to Android's source code and to the data space.
