Android or iOS? No electronic device is secure enough these days, even though companies are investing huge amounts of money in security solutions that aim to make products invincibly hacking them. Security is also a very good topic for discussion among Android and iOS device users.
Many security experts argue that the Android OS is a security mess, but the Google appears to have made significant strides in improving privacy and security on devices running mobile platform her.
The company now provides manufacturers mobile phone monthly updates security that fix bugs it discovered that can be exploited by malicious users.
On the other hand, the iOS ecosystem is considered safer, but less adaptable and open to developers.
During an interview after a speech at a security conference, Adrian Ludwig, director of security at Android, said that "definitely" Google's Pixel devices provide about the same security as an iPhone.
He claimed that Android will soon be better: "In the long run, the open ecosystem of Android is going to reach a much better position."
According to Ludwig, the built-in Android security solution called Safety Net now scans 400 millions of devices a day. In addition, the product can control 6 billions of applications per day.
Thanks to Safety Net, the number of Android devices that have malware is too small today, according to Ludwig.
He also argues that less than the 1% of Android smartphones are affected by PHA (Potentially Harmful Applications), which is hard to believe.
