from what little I know btc and pow are more secured than pos, which are more scalable in return. it's the classic but still unsolved trilemma between security, speed and scalability.
there are also aspect of technology itself but i'm not a dev or anything. i just know sha-256 is considered quite robust and well coded.
The problem is that it might be "more secure" but if both are so secure that breach is practically impossible then it doesn't do much to say it's more secure. Whether it takes 10 universal lifetimes or 100 is immaterial.
Even very simple encyrptions are functionally unbreakable even if we turned all of humanities computational power on them, which is why computer systems being compromised are because people left their passwords written down at their desk, or the result of people just giving their passwords to scammers.
The encryption side of crypto is solving a problem that was already solved a long time ago, and the append-only ledger style of the current popular block chains create their own set of problems that haven't been meaningfully addressed that I've seen.
However, if any group is going to address them, it's almost certainly going to be ethereum rather than bitcoin.
