Africas Mobile Security Situation 2018 has been released by Checkpoint Software, a cybersecurity company. Africa’s most common computing device are not the desktop or laptop PCs, but rather smartphones. Mobile security is very different from PC security, as patches to a desktop operating system much more flexible and faster than a smartphone OS update.

This can be attributed to a lack of attack vectors which could be used for self-spreading infections and low sophistication of malicious applications.”]
