Improving on an already secure app submission process, Apple requires that apps are signed by certificates that are checked using AppleвЂ™s servers.This allows businesses to set up accounts from the get-go (through MDM providers or internet service providers) and manage them even if the person were to leave the company. Improvements on MDM (Mobile Device Management) that allows businesses to вЂњbake-inвЂќ their policies on devices that were not possible on iOS before.

They check if you are a legitimate business, the fee is much higher than Android or Windows, and they have humans testing each application before it is submitted. Apple also has strict requirements to include an app in their store.

IOS is a proprietary operating system that Apple controls, running solely on AppleвЂ™s own devices. We also utilized articles published by Mikko Hypponen, the Chief Research Officer of F-Secure, an online security and privacy company based in Helsinki, Finland вЂ“ heвЂ™s a big deal in the mobile security realm.

WeвЂ™re not the first to debate this question, and it is ongoing as operating systems grow their number of users. If you are looking to implement a new solution that includes a mobile application, itвЂ™s important to know the security features of each mobile operating system. Often times, these devices are collecting confidential and sometimes sensitive information,В soВ it is important to be aware of the security of various OSвЂ™ available. With the growing popularity of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and similar company-wide policies integrating mobile devices into the work day, a question arises about security.
