Samsung Galaxy Tab too insecure for business use, analysis finds

Samsung’s much-vaunted Galaxy Tab has serious security failings that make it unsuitable for use by businesses, a technical analysis by consultancy Context Information Security has found. Researchers compared the security features of Samsung’s Android 3.2-based Tab 7.0 tablet to the iPad 2 and RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook. The researchers found that this wasn’t turned on by default, and even when turned on could only secure a small data partition using 128-bit AES. The iPad and PlayBook did far better in terms of data security, although the iPad’s security depended heavily on the length and complexity of the chosen key.”]
