2. AGENDA
Introduction to
both Android &
IOS (Operating
System).
Discussing
About Their
Vulnerabilities.
Discussing
About Both
OS’s In Terms Of
Security.
Discussing
About Their
Agile Behavior.
Conclusion.

3. Android
&
IOS.
ANDROID:
• ANDROID IS A “LINUX” BASED OS DESIGNED FOR TOUCH SCREEN MOBILE DEVICES.
• ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY USED OS THESE DAYS IS ANDROID.
• ANDROID SUPPORTS LARGE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS IN SMART PHONES.
• THE FIRST VERSION (ALPHA) 1.0 OF ANDROID RELEASED IN 2008 AND LATEST
VERSION IS PIE RELEASED IN 2018.
• ANDROID OS WAS FOUNDED IN PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA IN OCTOBER 2003.
• ANDROID OS IS AN OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE WHICH IS AVAILABLE TO ALL THE
DEVELOPERS.
IOS:
• IOS IS THE (OS) OPERATING SYSTEM DEVELOPED BY APPLE INC FOR ALL APPLE
MOBILE DEVICES (INCLUDING IPHONE, IPAD, IPOD, AND APPLE TV).
• IOS WAS DESIGNED TO MEET THE NEEDS OF A MOBILE ENVIRONMENT, THE
TECHNOLOGIES ARE AVAILABLE ONLY ON IOS, SUCH AS THE MULTI-TOUCH
INTERFACE, EXCELLENT GRAPHIC.
• IT NOT ONLY MANAGES POWER EFFICIENTLY BUT ALSO DELIVERS OUTSTANDING
BATTERY LIFE. IOS EVEN ENSURES THAT PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE DON’T
SUFFER EVEN IF YOU ARE MULTITASKING.
• APPLE MAKES BOTH THE IPHONE HARDWARE AND THE OPERATING SYSTEM,
EVERYTHING WORKS TOGETHER SEAMLESSLY AND INTELLIGENTLY.
• IPHONE AND IOS ARE MADE TO BE USED AROUND THE WORLD. THE USER
INTERFACE IS LOCALIZED INTO OVER 30 LANGUAGES, AND YOU CAN EASILY
SWITCH BETWEEN THEM.
INTRODUCTION

4. DEFINATION FOR ANDROID: Android 'API
breaking' vulnerability leaks device data, allows user tracking. A
vulnerability in the Android operating system can be used to track
users without their knowledge.
DEFINATION FOR IOS: This vulnerability exploits an iOS feature
called iTunes Wi-Fi sync, which allows a user to manage their iOS
device without physically connecting it to their computer. A single
tap by the iOS device owner when the two are connected to the
same network allows an attacker to gain permanent control over
the device.

5. ANDROID:
 Companies like Verizon, AT&T Contained its bloatware software, in that
reason there is a possibility of vulnerability.
 The environment of android is fully customizable that’s why there is a big
thread of stealing information through the benefit of open source.
 In android, rooting is a process in which we can easily customize and
occurred changing with our software but ut us a big and possible thread
of vulnerability.
IOS:
 It allows approximate attackers (Hacker) to bypass the lock screen
protection and obtained private notification content via Siri
 In IOS, jailbreaking is a process in which we can fully customize our IOS
device but it is a big and possible thread of vulnerability.
 An issue was discovered in apple ios affected that issue evolves in the
massage component. It allows the hacker to cause denial of service via
craft message.

6. ANDROID:
Mobile security applications for Google's Android platform help protect
Android smartphone and tablet mobile devices from malware threats as well
as unauthorized access following accidental loss or theft of the device.
IOS:
Apple operating system is a closed system and therefore much more secure.
This is the same with mobile.

7. ANDROID:
 Android devices relying on an open source code, meaning that the organization
(carrier services) of these devices can tinker with their phone’s and tablet OS.
Too much tinkering might create a weakness in their device’s security.
 If a vendor put outs a new device with a modification to the android OS and
there’s a vulnerability in that code, hackers will find it.
 Android is more often targeted by hackers too. As it is the more popular
smartphone. Android devices are more vulnerable to the malware and viruses
that these criminals can unleash.
IOS:
 Apple’s operating system is a closed system. Apple doesn’t release its source
code to app developers, and the owners of iPhones and iPads can't modify the
code on their phones themselves. This makes it more difficult for hackers to find
vulnerabilities on iOS-powered devices.
 In iOS may be considered more secure, it’s not impossible for cybercriminals to
hit iPhones or iPads.
 The owners of both Android and iOS devices need to be aware of possible
malware (bloatware) and viruses, and be careful when downloading apps from
third-party app stores. It’s safest to download apps from trusted sources, such
as Google Play and the Apple App Store, which yet the apps they sell.

8. DEFINATION: Agile Methodology (Behavior) is a type of
project management process. The agile method anticipates
change and allows for much more “FLEXIBILITY” than
traditional methods. Clients can make small objective
changes without huge amendments to the budget or
schedule.

9. ANDROID:
 As compared to iOS android is more agile, because we can transfer files
easily or quickly through one device to another like USB (mass storage ).
 Android OS is more agile, because we can download our files from
browser.
 In contrast to other operating system android is more agile because it has
more multitasking efficient ability (recent apps).
IOS:
 IOS is agile because it can transfer file through another iOS device without
cost of vulnerability.
 IOS cannot allow third party files to download on their default safari
browser for the sake of malicious viruses.
 In IOS it cannot allow third party apps to run on their devices so it is more
agile.

10. According to our perspective we think that
IOS is more secure as compared to Android
but at the same time android is working
way too harder for securing their devices for
example: GOOGLE PLAY PROTECT which is
too much protected and secure as android’s
predecessor GOOGLE APP MARKET. Google
Play Protect is a security feature for the
Google Play Store to make their apps as well
as their users secure. IOS on other way is
strong on their R&D department for all three
factors of our presentation.
