IOS MOBILE STRATEGY FROM APPLE

IOS MOBILE STRATEGY FROM APPLE

For the first time this system, as well as Android, based on Unix, appeared under the name iPhone OS, along with a new device the iPhone in 2007. The main difference from other IOS at the time of successful operating systems such as Windows Mobile 6.x or Symbian, is that Apple has a monopoly in the provision of software for its smartphones. Users can purchase the necessary applications (Apps) only in the store Apple App Store. Downloading software from various third-party websites, is still possible in OS X, for the systems on the IOS platform already available. 

Some believe that such a method of providing software really enhances safety. Unlike poorly controlled Play Store for Android from Google, Apple in the process more streamlined and organized. However, the fact that Apple can with the appropriate command deliberately erase applications on the devices of users and at the same time effectively prevents the removal of pre installed applications such as the "exchange rates" or "weather forecast", runs counter to attempts to create an image of "an open and flexible "system". 

If the antivirus software equipment stationary computers has long been a natural phenomenon and the trend is gradually spreading to devices Android, then the Apple App Store, there is no hint of such a possibility, a keyword search for "antivirus" issue is not a list of programs for the protection of the device, and only a few titles of games. The telephone survey of various security vendors, almost all of whom are in the product portfolio of solutions for the platform Android, with the following results: manufacturer Apple does not allow in its App Store is no special protection programs, because he believes that no need for this. The company Apple, the only software provider to App Store, is responsible for ensuring that there were presented only those applications where there is no any harmful components. Thus, according to Apple, is guaranteed by the inability to spread viruses and malware in IOS.

The underlying security architecture in Apple IOS: in general it produces a sturdy impression, but, as in many other mobile systems, the four-digit password is easy driving obstacle.

COMPLIANCE WITH SIMPLE SAFETY :

Administrators and users should be aware that the operating systems of modern smartphones are extremely complex software solutions, which - quite naturally - there are gaps. Owners of all mobile systems is recommended - as is the case with the PC - always be alert and observe a few simple safety measures.

Safety recommendations for smartphone users :

Never try to get the right Root on your phone on the Android platform or hack your iPhone with the operation Jailbreak.
Distrust to all applications for which the acquisition of rights is a prerequisite for Root (this is the case with Android, often the applications, ostensibly designed to protect the system).
Never install the operating system version, taken from dubious Internet sources.
If, for example, the manufacturer of your smartphone does not offer an upgrade to the latest version of Android, it is a newer version from an unknown source probably will not add the device reliability.
In IOS necessarily enable the option "automatic lock" and "lock with password" to the unit in case of loss impede access to the information on it to outsiders.
As is the case with stationary PC, be sure to install the update from the manufacturer / supplier.
Avoid installing applications for systems Android, from unknown sources, and turn off this option in the settings menu.
Smartphone owners are often difficult to resist the opportunity of using unprotected WLAN network to access the Internet. Remember that in this case, all the data will be transmitted in clear text over the air interface - this also applies to passwords for the mail or banking applications, if they are not in the construction of the connection uses a separate encrypted tunnel.
Install on your mobile security application that can remotely delete data in case of loss or theft of the device.
