BlackBerry most secure mobile platform, research finds

BlackBerry leads the pack when it comes to secure mobile platforms, according to a study by security firm Trend Micro, Bloor Research and Altimeter Group.

BlackBerry attained the highest average score, followed by Apple IOS, and Windows Phone, but Android was scored the lowest, the report said.

The platforms were compared on a combination of factors including built-in security, application security, authentication, device wipe, device firewall, and virtualisation. The ranking was the same when the platforms were compared in terms of their overall ability to meet the demands of use in the enterprise.
