New study shows that Android is more secure than iOS – Pplware

The security of mobile devices is a topic that has been much discussed and it has proven difficult to control. Guilt, most cases are the applications and how they bind to operating systems.

Several studies have shown different positions on this issue, but a recent showed that the level of threats Android is lower than the iOS and is therefore safer.

There are several possible security breach points in an operating system. Since the system itself and its APIs to the always controversial applications, attackers can exploit and gain access to user data or simply take control of the devices.

A study now presented by CheckMarx proved that applications Android is more secure than iOS, with less critical situations and can cause problems.

The numbers are very similar, but they can give a slight advantage to Android, which thus shows a system where users can rely on.

These amounts arise from the evaluation of hundreds of applications, whether on Google Play or the App Store and which were grouped by types of faults detected (low, medium, high, and critical). The analyzed apps ranging from banking applications, tools, games and even security applications.

The numbers are clear and iOS met a higher percentage of critical and high failure, which places it in a more vulnerable position. 40% obtained leave it at the front and therefore more exposed, than Android, which obtained 36%.

The creators This study also showed that the most common failure in all fault is associated with passing information from users and unsafe authentication systems and can be easily circumvented.

As already mentioned, this difference is minimal, but clearly shows that the mobile operating system Apple has been losing its maximum protection aura that has always been associated.

The Android not getting very far, you can still have a provision to less worrying failure, which places it in a prominent position.

It also leaves a bit optimistic for mobile systems. Either of the two main systems has serious flaws and that could jeopardize the safety of users and their data.
