Samsung Android must be configured to enforce an application installation policy by specifying one or more authorized application repositories, including DOD-approved commercial app repository, management tool server, or mobile application store.

Description
Forcing all applications to be installed from authorized application repositories can prevent unauthorized and malicious applications from being installed and executed on mobile devices. Allowing such installations and executions could cause a compromise of DOD data accessible by these unauthorized/malicious applications. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #8

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-272579r1098613_chk)

Review the configuration to determine if the Samsung Android devices are disabling unauthorized application repositories. This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool and the Samsung Android device. On the management tool, in the Work profile restrictions, verify "installs from unknown sources globally" is set to "Disallow". On the Samsung Android device: 1. Open Settings >> Security and privacy >> More security settings >> Install unknown apps. 2. In the "Personal" tab, verify that each app listed has the status "Disabled" under the app name or no apps are listed. 3. In the "Work" tab, verify that each app listed has the status "Disabled" under the app name or no apps are listed. If on the management tool "installs from unknown sources globally" is not set to "Disallow", or on the Samsung Android device an app is listed with a status other than "Disabled", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-76565r1098612_fix)

Configure the Samsung Android devices to disable unauthorized application repositories. On the management tool, in the Work profile restrictions, set "installs from unknown sources globally" to "Disallow". Note: Google Play must not be disabled. Disabling Google Play will cause system instability and critical updates will not be received.
