For those who use Android for business, what type of security do you use?

I am curious, sometimes I do check work email from my Android. What kind of security measures do you take when using Android? I don't even install an anti virus app or anything but I am careful only to install apk from trusted sources

I'm managing a fleet of 25 Android phones using Google Apps for Business and Lookout. Both give me the ability to lock and remote wipe in the event of an emergency. I do get asked "how do you manage and/or monitor what they do and what they install?" Simple answer is, I don't. It hasn't been an issue. If I wanted a system I could lock down and have full control I'd have them all on Crackberries on a BES server.

I don't install any antiviruses. Just don't install unnecessary apps on work device.
Security inside android is very well. Application can't see data inside another app data folder if you will not give root access for them.
Only common data can be accessible.
Don't worry.
