Project Zero, which is engaged in computer security research, publishes quite interesting information. For several years, they collected data on the discovered vulnerabilities in operating systems of various types. Also, they followed the time that the developers of these systems spend on eliminating these vulnerabilities.

The fastest problems are the fastest in open OS based on Linux, on average it takes 25 days. Apple spends almost three more time on this procedure - 69 days, and Microsoft needs even more - 83 days.

The Project Zero data notes that in general companies are constantly reducing the time to eliminate vulnerabilities. But the developers of Linux achieved the greatest success in this.

It is also worth noting that the creators of mobile operating systems are not in a hurry to rule potential gaps in safety. It takes 70 days to corrections in iOS, and 72 android in Android. The developers of browsers achieved good indicators in this direction! Chrome copes in 30 days, and Firefox for 37.

In general, Project Zero notes that most IT companies have recently achieved good safety results.
