Apple and Google missing the mark on mobile security



From V3:

The security around the Apple iOS and Google Android operating systems is not good enough for most businesses' needs, according to Microsoft product manager Chris Hallum.

Hallum highlighted Windows Phone's low malware levels as proof of the platform's superiority over Android in an interview with V3.

"We view security as a differentiator for our Windows Phone 8.1 platform. Windows Phone is very resistant to malware. Part of this is due to the store policy we use. A big battle protecting customers is working to ensure malware doesn't get into the ecosystem," he said.
