Hi All, UK government security arm CESG has published a report of its assessment on the security of all ‘End User Device’ operating systems.
Its assessment compared 11 desktop and mobile operating systems across 12 categories including: VPN, disk encryption, and authentication. These criteria are roughly equivalent to a standard set of enterprise security best practices, and *Ubuntu 12.04 LTS came out on top* – the only operating system that passed nine requirements without any “Significant Risks”. This article summarises the report, addressing the specific remarks raised in the assessment, and examines why *Ubuntu is such a secure OS for government and enterprise use.
