Android or iOS? No electronic device is secure enough these days, even if companies invest huge amounts of money in security solutions aimed at making their products impregnable to hacking. Security is also a very good topic for discussion users Android and iOS devices.
Many security experts argue that Android OS is a security mess, but Google seems to have taken important steps to improve privacy and security in devices running its mobile platform.
The company now provides mobile phone makers with monthly security updates that fix bugs that have been discovered and 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 congress ασφαλείας, ο Adrian Ludwig, διευθυντής της ασφάλειας στο Αndroid, ανέφερε ότι “σίγουρα” οι συσκευές Pixel της Google παρέχουν περίπου την ίδια ασφάλεια που παρέχει και ένα 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.
It also claims that less than 1% of Android smartphones are affected by PHA (Potentially Harmful Applications), which is hard to believe.
