Even though mobile operating systems such as Android are superior to PCs when it comes to protecting against security threats, there still are several concerns that IT should beware.
Compared to traditional PC operating systems, the Android smartphone OS is far and away more secure. That’s right. It’s more secure than PCs mainly because the mobile smartphone space is so new. Android OS developers learned from security mistakes of the past, and they made significant strides in blocking those threats right from the start.
After all, every week in the news we hear about dozens of tremendously dangerous new Windows vulnerabilities and exploits, but it’s still fairly rare to hear about a major security flaw in the Android OS that requires a user to patch or upgrade immediately. Think about it: We don’t have a “Patch Tuesday” for Android, do we?
Even though mobile operating systems such as Android are superior to PCs when it comes to protecting against security threats, there still are several concerns that IT should beware. Android-based smartphones continue to gain popularity among consumers, and even if they’re not officially allowed in your operations, they are surely making their way into your enterprise nonetheless.
