Smartphones are highly ef- fective produc- tivity tools , unfortunately , consumer mobile phones cre- ate an electronic trail that can put government em- ployees at risk because they are built around col- lecting data to monetize the user .

In response , CIS Mobile developed altOS which was built exclusively for secure government use , us- ing Android as a base but adding policy controls , secure containers , and management features into the platform .
In essence , it puts a new OS on the existing device to overcome secu- rity challenges and deliver the pro- ductivity of smartphones without the accompanying risk .
( Even approved government-certified devices leak user location , application use , and metadata back to 3rd party collectors however , al- tOS is different . It was built exclusively for secure government use , using Android as a base but adding policy controls , secure containers , and management features into the platform .
