Dispelling the myth: is iOS more secure than Android?

There’s been a long-held belief that iOS mobile apps are more secure than Android apps for reasons like “Apple doesn’t allow sideloading”, their encryption and sandboxing practices, and more. But does this belief really hold true? We won’t spoil the punchline here, but instead invite you to join our webinar exploring a recent research project into iOS app’s vulnerabilities that were previously assumed to be “only an Android problem”. During the webinar, Benjamin Adolphi, Head of Security Research at Promon, will share insight from our recently released Q1 2024 App Threat Report and will unpack: - Decrypting and repackaging of iOS apps - How iOS app security differs from Android app considerations - The recent ruling by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) allowing sideloading for iOS apps - Multilayered app protection strategies - including runtime and obfuscation The report itself reviews the specific security vulnerabilities of the most used iOS apps from around the world, security considerations for similar apps in the marketplace, as well as recommended steps to address common gaps in mobile application security strategies.
