BenQ will continue supporting all Android versions, regardless of Google’s support, by rolling out firmware updates. These will include new features, bug fixes, and security and privacy patches for official apps.
To ensure a smooth user experience, BenQ strongly encourages our smart board customers to consistently install the latest firmware and app updates and to follow best practices for network security. In terms of cloud security, BenQ cloud services and databases are hosted on secure Amazon cloud servers and regularly audited as part of the AWS Compliance Programs.
