ABSTRACT
Mobile devices were introduced in the early 1970s when the world's first mobile phone, a Motorola, allowed for thirty minutes of talk time and took around ten hours to charge. In 1983 the first commercial mobile phone was released, but these phones were not necessarily designed with end users in mind because the primary audience was organizations who could afford them. Before mobile devices, organizations applied traditional information security best practices and methodologies by defining their network perimeter and then designing their intranets and systems accordingly. Mobile devices, for the most part, are small compared to traditional computer systems making them more prone to being lost. Implementing technology to secure mobile devices, as a precursor to enabling digital forensic capabilities, is only one piece of an organization's broader strategy to governing use of these technologies.
