Abstract

This research investigation explores the security landscape in terms of Operating Systems (OS) security and the two dominant mobile operating systems, Android and Apple iOS, in response to the escalating concerns surrounding data privacy and cybersecurity in the realm of the security ecosystem. Through a multidisciplinary methodology comprising data processing evaluation, technical analysis, vulnerability assessment, comparative analysis, real-world case studies, and expert interviews, the research aims to evaluate the efficacy of the security measures implemented by cybersecurity terminologies within protecting user data and mitigating cyber threats. Commencing with an extensive synthesizes for existing research, industry reports, and scholarly articles to contextualize the current state of mobile operating system security. Simultaneously, the security measures employed by both operating systems, such as encryption algorithms, secure boot mechanisms, app sandboxing, and permission models, are evaluated to gauge their effectiveness in thwarting cyber threats. Through a comparative analysis, the exploration elucidates the divergent security postures of mobile computing Android, iOS, delineating their respective strengths and weaknesses. Noteworthy cybersecurity of OS disparities in security architectures, update mechanisms, ecosystem dynamics are identified, providing insights into their implications for end users, enterprises. The results, findings, offering diverse perspectives on emerging trends, best practices in terms of cybersecurity, OS security, Mobile Technical Computing Security. Ethical considerations remain paramount throughout the research process, ensuring responsible handling of sensitive information. This research contributes valuable insights into OS, Cybersecurity, mobile computing, operating system security, informing policymakers, practitioners, researchers within cybersecurity. By adopting a holistic approach and integrating realworld insights, this research aims to facilitate informed decisionmaking and foster advancements in terms of security practices.
