Apple’s iPhone has received considerable attention for security that defied FBI investigators, but Samsung’s Knox, an enterprise security layer for Android devices, scores better in a security evaluation conducted by research firm Gartner.
In a report published earlier this month, Gartner research director Patrick Hevesi compared 12 mobile device platforms — Android 4, 5, and 6; BlackBerry 10; BlackBerry Android; iOS 8 and 9; Samsung Knox; Windows Phone 8.1 and 10 (Lumia); and Windows 8.1 and 10 (Surface). He awarded Knox more “strong” ratings than any other system.
