From BlackBerry Enterprise Server (version 5.x), Part 3 Security Technical Implementation Guide
Part of Bluetooth controls on BES -01
Associated with IA controls: ECSC-1
Bluetooth usage could provide an attack vector for a hacker to connect to a BlackBerry device without the knowledge of the user. DoD data would then be vulnerable.
Detailed Policy Requirements: DoD BlackBerry users must apply the following Bluetooth controls: Bluetooth data transmissions, such as syncing to the desktop or transfer of data files, on wireless email devices are disabled except for the Bluetooth CAC reader (i.e., Bluetooth Smart Card Reader [SCR]). Bluetooth for voice transmissions, such as the Bluetooth headset, is authorized if a DoD-approved headset is used. ***** For this check, set IT Policy rule "Disable Bluetooth" (Bluetooth policy group) to "Yes" or "No", depending on if the Bluetooth Smart Card Reader (SCR) or an approved Bluetooth headset is used at the site. Set to "No" if used. Set to "Yes" if not used. Check Procedures: This is a BES IT Policy check. Recommend all checks related to BES IT policies be reviewed using the procedure in Check WIR1400-01 (V0003545). *****Verify IT Policy rule "Disable Bluetooth" (Bluetooth policy group) is set as required. If not set as required, this is a finding.
Configure the IT Policy rule as specified in the "Checks" block.
