Advances in science and technology have enabled people the access to gadgets that facilitate their business and personal life. Mobile devices are the most popular form of communication and because of their advanced features and relatively poor security have become attractive targets for attackers. Defensive layers are present in such systems, some are automated and engineered while others rely on people. Their function is to protect potential victims and assets from local hazards. Mostly they do this very effectively, but there are always weaknesses because of the vulnerabilities presented as ‘holes’ in Swiss Cheese Model (SCM). This work aims to introduce the adoption of SCM in organisations where these devices are used, by explaining how human factor can l ead to errors and what is the contribution of latent conditions in ‘holes’. Here it is shown that SCM has its limitations and to make good use and enhance of it, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is suggested for manufacturer side. Through this quantitative analysis tool it is shown how its application can contribute in risk mitigation in mobile devices systems.
