BLACKBERRY IS SAFER THAN WINDOWS THAT IS SAFER THAN iOS THAT IS SAFER THAN ANDROID IN TURN
APPLES CENTRALIZED POINT OF DISTRIBUTION IS PROVIDING WITH CONFIDENCE THROUGH THE VALIDATION BY APPLE, EXCEPT THE SUBMISSION OF SUSPICIOUS APP BY Ch. MILLER THAT HAD BEEN SUCCESSFULLY APPROVED BY APPLE INSTALLING CYDIA &THE REST APPS AFTER THAT MICROSOFT (WINDOWS PHONE) HAS A CENTRALIZED MARKET WITH DEEPER TESTING AND VALIDATION LIKE APPLE GOOGLE PROVIDES A CENTRALIZED MARKET TOO, HOWEVER PROVIDES ABILITY TO INSTALL APPS FROM 3RD-PARTY SOURCES SUCH AS AMAZON. ANY OTHER ARE ORIGINATE FROM MALWARE HOTSPOTS ANY ALTERNATIVE MARKETS FOR SOCALLED CRACKED DISTRIBUTE FOR FREE REPACKAGES BLACKBERRY IS THE SAFEST OS BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST MANAGEABLE AND SECURE MAINLY AS IT IS ON AN ENTERPRISE WAY

THERE 55 GROUPS CONTROLLED IN ALL EACH GROUP CONTAINS FROM 10 TO 30 UNITS ARE CONTROLLED TOO EACH UNIT IS UNDER A LOT OF FLEXIBLE PARAMs INSTEAD OF A WAY DISABLE/ENABLED & HIDE/UNHIDE EACH EVENT IS CONTROLLED BY CERTAIN PERMISSION ALLOWED TO CONTROL BY SIMILAR PERMISSIONS TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE DESCRIBED 360 PAGES IN ALL THAT IN FOUR TIME MORE THAN OTHER DOCUMENTS

Huge amount of permissions are MDM & device built-in

EACH UNIT CANT CONTROL ACTIVITY UNDER ITSELF CREATE, READ, WRITE/SAVE, SEND, DELETE ACTIONS IN REGARDS TO MESSAGES LEAD TO SPOOFING BY REQUESTING A MESSAGE PERMISSION ONLY SOME PERMISSIONS ARENT REQUIRED (TO DELETE ANY OTHER APP) SOME PERMISSIONS ARE RELATED TO APP, WHICH 3RD PARTY PLUGIN WAS EMBEDDED IN, INSTEAD OF THAT PLUGIN

REDRAWING THE SCREENS (OLD BB ONLY), GRABBING THE TEXT FROM ANY FIELDs (INCL.

BUT INSTEADMAKE NO SENSE

SMS IS A HALF A HASH VALUE OF GOST R 34.11-94

HASH IMPLEMENTATION USES TEST CRYPTO VALUES AND NO SALT TABLES (VALUEHASH) ARE EASY BUILT OUTCOMING SMS CAN BE SPOOFED WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION, BECAUSE KMS DELETE THE SENT MESSAGES OUTCOMING SMS COULD BLOCK/WIPE THE SAME/ANOTHER DEVICE

COMPLIANCE AND MDM

CSA Mobile Device Management: Key Components
Device diversity Configuration management Software Distribution Device policy compliance & enforcement Enterprise Activation Logging Security Settings Security Wipe, Lock IAM Make you sure to start managing security under uncertain terms without AI

NIST-124
Refers to NIST-800-53 and other Sometimes missed requirements such as locking device, however it is in NIST-800-53 A bit details than CSA No statements on permission management Make you sure to start managing security under uncertain terms without AI
