Eric Schmidt, Google’s chairman and former CEO of the same company, participated in a discussion with David Willis, an analyst and head of research at Gartner, during the meeting Gartner Symposium / ITxpo.
There, during the session of questions and answers, Willis said: “When you say Android, people say ‘wait a minute, Android is not safe’ …”, to which the executive responded quickly: “Is not safe Is it safer than the iPhone. “
As described by ZDNet, the comment was met with laughter from the public, as it is widely known that, at least on mobile phones, Android is a platform that receives more attacks.
Schmidt did not give a direct answer to why Android is more secure than the iPhone (though the comparison should be made with iOS as the operating system of the phone), but Google itself has announced measures security with the latest updates from the platform.
The problem is, for now, in the fragmentation of the platform. A U.S. government survey puts to the absence of a clear path update Android devices to the latest version of the software as a clear risk security. But Schmidt says that the important thing is that software, to purchase a computer with the operating system, applications are.
