BYO andriod for enterprise; 4000+ to patch. But can/do they.

"The message is simple: don't trust Android version numbers in vulnerability assessments.

Enterprises that rely on Android version numbers to determine if bring-your-own mobile devices are patched and secure for enterprise use should think again, according to new research.

Usually, when a new version of Android or any software is released, it is expected that flaws detected in older versions are fixed. For example, devices running Android 4.04 should not contain flaws identified in 4.03.

But according to Jon Oberheide, chief technology officer at US-based enterprise security and authentication company Duo Security, that's not happening with Android, and old bugs are being carried forward, hiding behind what should be secured versions."
