Description
Developer modes expose features of the MOS that are not available during standard operation. An adversary may leverage a vulnerability inherent in a developer mode to compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of DOD sensitive information. Disabling developer modes mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #26

Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 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-276647r1139463_chk)

Review the configuration to determine if the Samsung Android devices are disabling developer modes. This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool and the Samsung Android device. On the management tool, in the device restrictions, verify "Debugging Features" is set to "Disallow". On the Samsung Android device: 1. Open Settings >> About phone >> Software information. 2. Tap on the Build Number to try to enable "Developer Options" and validate that action is blocked. If on the management tool "Debugging Features" is not set to "Disallow" or on the Samsung Android device "Developer options" action is not blocked, this is a finding.

Configure the Samsung Android devices to disable developer modes. On the management tool, in the device restrictions, set "Debugging Features" to "Disallow". API: addUserRestriction, DISALLOW_DEBUGGING_FEATURES
