Jamf is a service for companies to manage devices such as iPhones, and it also operates a Jamf Lab that looks at security issues. It’s now issued an annual report about the safety and security of devices, specifically all smartphones.
Overall, it claims that “40% of mobile users are running a device with known vulnerabilities,” and that “39% of organizations had at least one device” with such issues. The report typically refers to iOS and Android together, rather than breaking out any differences, but says this is because there are growing issues even with the iPhone.
