You may already know Bitdefender from the password manager, of which there are several versions available. The makers also have a security app in their range, called Bitdefender Mobile Security for Android. The app works on a subscription model: you pay about 15 euros annually for protection.
Bitdefender Mobile Security consists of several components, spread across the categories Security, Performance and Privacy. In terms of security, the app offers, among other things, a malware scanner that looks for malicious code. In addition, each app is automatically checked when you install it, but you also have the option to manually check the device. We also find App Anomaly Detection in the package. If an app shows suspicious behavior (which may only manifest itself after a while), Mobile Security will also intervene. In addition, the makers have paid attention to information about the safe use of devices. For example, there is the Bitdefender Autopilot: it gives you insights about the security status and can provide advice to further improve the security (and performance) of the system. In terms of privacy, we find a built-in VPN service, but also App Lock, with which you can lock apps with a PIN code and only use apps in combination with a reliable WiFi network.
