Stay Alert for Greater Security

Inter-device Protection

Connecting with other devices is always secure with HarmonyOS 2. Only devices that meet strict security requirements can be connected to via Super Device and the system will manage the security clearance level of each connected device, so that the more important the data, the stricter the protection.

Only Secure Apps Apply

When you enable Pure Mode on HarmonyOS 2, only apps that have undergone the stringent testing for listing in the HUAWEI AppGallery can be installed. And for an even higher layer of security, installed apps are constantly monitored to detect potential risks and security infringements.

The Height of Security

HarmonyOS 2 has been awarded the EAL 4+ certification for information security, as well as the CC EAL 5+ microkernel security certification. Multiple high-level security safeguards also protect the safety of your devices in all aspects.
