Research and analyze digital evidence in smartphones running Android

Abstract

Android operating systems are now very popular with mobile users that often contain important user information. Hackers today try to bypass security layers to steal user data, which contains sensitive information. Digital evidence on mobile phones is diverse, and certain tools or techniques are needed to extract or copy copies for analysis and testing. The investigation of these digital evidence requires a specialized investigation team and works according to a standard procedure. Having an investigation process is clearly imperative to address issues involving mobile devices in which investigating teams will perform threats and vulnerabilities analysis for the phone. However, because it is connected to the internet, even one tablet connected to the network can become a security risk. A new consideration to bump up tablet security are the new data privacy laws in effect. If your tablet is loss, stolen or the data is otherwise compromised, you could create serious legal and financial problems for your company.
