Many mobile devices display notifications on the lock screen so that users can obtain relevant information in a timely manner without having to frequently unlock the phone to determine if there are new notifications. However, in many cases, these notifications can contain sensitive information. When they are available on the lock screen, an adversary can see them merely by being in close physical proximity to the device. Configuring the MOS to not send notifications to the lock screen mitigates this risk.
This check procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Samsung Knox device. Check that the appropriate setting is configured on the MDM Administration Console. 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Notifications on lock screen" settings in the "Android Restrictions" rule. 2. Verify that the "Hide content" or "Do not show notification" setting is enabled and "Show content" setting is disabled. On the Samsung Knox for Android Device: 1. Open the device settings. 2. Select "Notifications". 3. Select "Notifications on lock screen". 4. Attempt to enable "Show content". If the "Show content" setting in the MDM console is enabled, or if the user is able to enable "Show content" on the device, this is a finding.
Configure the MOS to not display notifications when the device is locked. Configure the platform to disable notifications on the lock screen or hide notification details on the lock screen. On the MDM Administration Console, enable the "Hide content" or "Do not show notification" and disable "Show content" in the "Notifications on lock screen" setting in the "Android Restrictions" rule.
