Mobile devices have developed over the years from slow and cumbersome devices to advanced computerized tools, running sophisticated operating systems and are connected to the Internet and to the organization’s network information assets.

The current BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend has even increased the usage of these devices as work tools, exposing the organization data to loss, manipulation, falsification and consequently severe reputation damage.
