Android Is As Secure As Apple's iOS, Google Security Director Claims A lot of people assume that Google’s Android operating system is a lot less secure than Apple’s iOS for the iPhone. Adrian Ludwig, the director of security at Android, has busted those claims stating that it’s as secure as that of the iPhone OS. “For most threat models they are nearly identical in terms of their platform-level capabilities,” Ludwig told  Vice’s Motherboard . He also said during a security conference in Manhattan on Tuesday that the Google Pixel and the iPhone are pretty much equal in terms of security, adding that Android will be better soon. “In the long term, the open ecosystem of Android is going to put it in a much better place.” Ludwig also mentioned Android’s built-in security software called Safety Net, which is capable of scanning 400 million devices and more than 6 billion apps a day. The software makes sure that only a small number of devices are vulnerable to malware. He als

Reliance Jio Says Airtel Gesture Welcome, but Won't Address Call Drops Reliance Jio on Sunday welcomed Bharti Airtel's decision to provide better interconnection for its calls. But it also said the number of such points proposed remained substantially less than actual requirement - and these won't be able to address the issue of large-scale call drops.

"More than two crore calls are failing everyday between the two networks, which is far in excess of the quality of service parameters and of alarming proportions. Urgent steps are required to be taken in the interest of customers of both operators," the statement said. "It is unfortunate that the  Telecom Regulatory Authority's  inter
