Ask HN: AppLock - How secure is it?

1 pointsby nppcabout 11 years ago
I am the IT manager for a large retailer in India. We are thinking of purchasing hundreds of Android tablets for our workforce instead of lowend laptops, what we used to buy traditionally.<p>The primary use for these devices would be to capture data related to budgeting and Purchase orders and using our ERP tools.<p>As we do not want the staff to use the provided tablets for playing games and facebook and watching videos etc, we want to install AppLock (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.domobile.applock) or something similar.<p>My Question is .. Is it possible to overcome the AppLock&#x27;s Lock by fiddling with the filesystem of the device by connecting it to a PC&#x2F;Mac - other than by factory resetting the device (which will erase our in-hour ERP apps anyway).
