Among the major concerns of enterprises these days are data security and theft from mobile devices. Here’s a look at whether iOS or Android offers better enterprise security.
The Bring Your Own Device trope has been around so long now that it has created a cottage industry of like-minded acronyms, such as Bring Your Own App (BYOA), and Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC).
Still, for the IT professionals who are charged with implementing, deploying, and maintaining an enterprise’s BYOD policy, the idea that an employee could download sensitive data to a smartphone or tablet and then lose it is still enough to cause nightmares.
Right now, Apple’s iOS dominates the BYOD enterprise market, although Google’s Android mobile operating system has made some gains. Determining which one is more secure for your enterprise depends on the industry sector in which you operate, the number of employee devices you have to manage, and the level of regulation your business faces.
