The Effectiveness of Remote Wipe as a Valid Defense for Enterprises Implementing a BYOD Policy

In today’s work place where corporations allow employees to use their own smart phones to access their company’s network and sensitive data, it is essential to ensure the security of said data. When an employee smart phone is compromised, companies will rely on the remote wipe command that attempts to remove sensitive data.
In this thesis, we analyze the effectiveness of remote wipe commands on the Apple iPhone and Android model devices and demonstrate how data can be recovered following a remote wipe procedure. We conduct two experiments on each device to verify whether remote wipe is a viable defense mechanism or not. Furthermore, we touch on the subject of mobile forensics used by law enforcement and review methods and techniques used to recover data for use as evidence in criminal cases.
