Answer: Linux is an open-source operating system and nowadays it is growing rapidly in the tech world/market. Although, the entire code written in Linux can be read by anyone, then also it is considered more secure because of the following reasons:

  • Linux provides its user with limited default privileges which are basically restricted to the lower levels .i.e. in the case of any virus attack, it will reach only local files and folders where the system-wide damage is saved.
  • It has a powerful auditing system that includes detailed logs.
  • Enhanced features of IPtables are used in order to implement a greater level of security for the Linux machine.
  • Linux has tougher program permissions before installing anything on your machine.
