#Michael Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I recent read an article comparing iOS 6 versus Blackberry OS: http://arstechnica.c...ise-management/ Which basically stated that iOS6 is on par now in terms of security when properly secured using an MDM platform. So my question is....how secure is the WP8 platform? For the first time since the original iPhone was released I am actually considering a different phone and I am really impressed with the new nokia lumia 920.

jakem1 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Very. WP8 will include full device encryption and secure boot. Microsoft made quite a big deal about how secure the new OS will be during their developer reveal in June. oliver182, watchthisspace and Xerax 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+primortal Subscriber² Posted September 21, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted September 21, 2012 Windows Phone 8 hasn't been released yet but if Windows Phone 7 is any indicator it's pretty secure. Never mind jakem1 did a better response :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My spelling sucks lately. But it is nice to know that WP8 is going to be good. The nokia phone is looking better and better everyday. Now if it was just available to buy already.

goretsky Supervisor Posted September 22, 2012 Supervisor Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hello, Here's an article I wrote on the subject of Windows Phone 8 from the beginning of the year: Windows Phone 8: Security Heaven or Hell? At the time I wrote it, there was not much information publicly available about WP8, so it was more speculative in nature, however, I think the general premise behind it is still sound, which is that if threats do appear, they are going to be more along the lines of chain-of-trust abuses and scams, as opposed to the kind of malware one is currently seeing on the Android platform.

Forjo Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Interestingly enough I read a news article this weekend that Chinese hackers have found a jailbreak for the Lumia 920 using the microUSB port. I don't have a link, but it'll probably show up soon if it's legit. Though I wonder if it'll survive the upgrade to Lumia Black. -Forjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
