Requiring all authorized applications to be in an application whitelist prevents the execution of any applications (e.g., unauthorized, malicious) that are not part of the whitelist. Failure to configure an application whitelist 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.
This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Samsung KNOX for Android device. Check whether the appropriate setting is configured on the MDM Administration Console: 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Application disable list" setting in the "Android Application" rule. 2. Verify the list contains all pre-installed applications that allow synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user. Note: The following applications are known to be pre-installed applications that allow synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user, but other applications can be found on other devices: Google Drive, Dropbox, Verizon Cloud, AT&T Locker, Microsoft OneDrive, and Microsoft OneNote. Note: Refer to the Supplemental document for additional information. If the "Application disable list" configuration is not properly configured, or if the user is able to launch the applications on the list, this is a finding.
Configure the mobile operating system application whitelist to exclude applications with the following characteristics: - allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user Configure the mobile operating system to disable all pre-installed applications that allow synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user. On the MDM Administration Console, add all pre-installed applications that allow synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user to the "Application disable list" setting in the "Android Applications" rule. Note: Refer to the Supplemental document for additional information.
