Samsung Android's Work profile must be configured to not allow installation of applications with the following characteristics: - Back up MD data to non-DOD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services); - Transmit MD diagnostic data to non-DOD servers; - Voice assistant application if available when MD is locked; - Voice dialing application if available when MD is locked; - Allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user; and - Allows unencrypted (or encrypted but not FIPS 140-2/140-3-validated) data sharing with other MDs or printers. - Apps that backup their own data to a remote system. - Apps that render TV shows and movies.

Description
Requiring all authorized applications to be in an application allowlist prevents the execution of any applications (e.g., unauthorized, malicious) that are not part of the allowlist. Failure to configure an application allowlist properly could allow unauthorized and malicious applications to be downloaded, installed, and executed on the mobile device, causing a compromise of DOD data accessible by these applications. Applications with the listed characteristics have features that can cause the compromise of sensitive DOD data or have features with no known application in the DOD environment. Application note: The application allowlist, in addition to controlling the installation of applications on the MD, must control user access/execution of all core and preinstalled applications, or the MD must provide an alternate method of restricting user access/execution to core and preinstalled applications. Core application: Any application integrated into the OS by the OS or MD vendors. Preinstalled application: Additional noncore applications included in the OS build by the OS vendor, MD vendor, or wireless carrier. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #8

Who does this work

7 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.

Verify requirement KNOX-16-005500 (managed Google Play) has been implemented. Verify no apps with unapproved apps are listed in approved apps. If managed Google Play has not been implemented or unapproved apps are allowed, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-80783r1139690_fix)

The authorizing official (AO) must not approve applications with the following characteristics for installation by users in the Work profile: - Back up MD data to non-DOD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services); - Transmit MD diagnostic data to non-DOD servers; - Voice assistant application if available when MD is locked; - Voice dialing application if available when MD is locked; - Allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user; - Payment processing; and - Allows unencrypted (or encrypted but not FIPS 140-2/140-3-validated) data sharing with other MDs, display screens (screen mirroring), or printers. - Apps that backup their own data to a remote system. - Apps that render TV shows and movies. Implement managed Google Play (refer to requirement KNOX-16-005500).
