Enterprise Mobile Device Deployment Lifecycle

[tmekelburg1]

I was doing some research on updating policies today and I came across the Enterprise Mobile Device Deployment Lifecycle referenced in NIST SP 800-124 rev.2 "Guidelines for Managing the Security of Mobile Devices in the Enterprise".

I don't believe I've ever heard of this lifecycle before but I did find a detailed account of it here: http://www.ittoday.info/ITPerformanceImprovement/Articles/2013-07Keyes.html 

Does anyone know of where it originated from and if the lifecycle descriptions can be found in an original source? Is it still maintained?

I am going to take a guess that this may have been an article in one of their books or journals.

I have seen the NIST document but not this.

Sorry

No worries, i was just trying to figure out where NIST got this lifecycle from. I would think it would be more well known if they refer to it in their Special Publication.

I believe you will find that NIST has folks that would have created/documented the lifecycle.

Each NIST document typically has a list of authors.
