Windows Phone has an increasing presence in enterprise in the present time with market shares above 20% in many European countries now.
Windows in the past years may seemed quietly working from behind, while competitors boasting every masterpiece and while the rivalries are tight and sizzling, people are drawn to what brands are seemingly popular and trending. But now manufacturers like Windows tend to claim a position on top.
However, the main reason is that Windows Phones integrate well with Microsoft’s back-end and the handsets are basically inexpensive, but another reason buyers should probably consider is that Windows Phone is a pretty secure OS compared to Android and iOS, at least according to white hat hacker and penetration tester Steve Lord, who primarily runs Mandalorian Security Services Ltd, and who has more than 15 years experience in the field of mobile technology.

In one interview when was asked which OS is most at risk, it is the Windows, Android or iOS? he replied that all have benefits and drawbacks. But currently Windows Phone seems to be the hardest nut to crack. Though before Blackberry has a long history of being very security-focused. As the most widely used OS around the globe, Android is the most susceptible easiest targets. On the other side comes iPhone, then older versions of BlackBerry. If it’s over a network or if one has to attack via email or message, Android’s usually the softest target.
Even when it came to older handset it continued to recommend Windows Phones, and when asked if there are older smartphones that consumers can use to be more secure, he said that older smartphones tend be considered less secure as they’re usually affected by known weaknesses and limitations. So if you’re using an older phone you’re better off with a classic dumb phone, and better get a newer one. But if you have to have an older smartphone, chooses the older BB10-based Blackberry, or a Windows Phone running Windows Phone 8 or newer than that.
As a proof, Windows Phones are of course usually last to fall (or not fall at all) in the yearly Pwn2Own Mobile contest, underlining the OS’s security credentials. Not to mention that iOS which is the most expensive brand maybe not worth the cash if it's vulnerable to such disgrace. As for Android, the only move you can do is to keep your android device secure by evading pop-up ads, downloading from third-party app apps and not legit play stores. And most importantly, avoid rooting your Android--it's a primary precautionary measures. Android rooting breaks the security walls and thus exposing it to viruses, malware, adware, Trojans, and the like. Staying safe is better than sorry.
