Symantec, one of the best antivirus companies, did some tests to see which operating system is more secure, iOS, or Android. The results were amazing, because Symantec pointed out that both mobile operating systems were more secure then any Computer OS, Even Linux! However when both OS's were further inspected, iOs seems to be harder to infect with any traditional malware due to due to Apple’s stringent certification process. Android, is at a higher risk for these kind of attacks mostly due to how open and available Android app certifications are. Overall, both mobile platforms offer a stone wall of protection.
