The company has really tight control over what is allowed into its store, reviewing the code of all apps before approving anything.
In addition to that security measure, Apple restricts installation on iOS devices to only those apps from the official App Store (unless somebody - be it your company admins or a malefactor - has an enterprise developer account that lets them use Mobile Device Management to install apps from third-party sources). That’s really helpful in terms of security. Under iOS, a wanna-be-malicious app won’t be able to steal or compromise anything it won’t be permitted outside its own sandbox, where only its own data is stored and processed. iOS apps are executed in their own sandboxes - secure environments that seclude the apps, keeping them away from other apps’ data, not to mention from tampering with the operating system’s files. That sounds rather arrogant, but it’s not marketing nonsense: Apple iOS is indeed designed to be very secure. It might seem strange that Kaspersky Lab doesn’t offer an antivirus app for iOS, but there’s a good reason: Apple doesn’t allow any proper antivirus apps into the App Store, saying “Apple designed the iOS platform with security at its core” and that the operating system does not need an antivirus utility.
