Google Android 13 must allow only the Administrator (MDM) to perform the following management function: Disable Phone Hub.
It may be possible to transfer work profile data on a DOD Android device to an unauthorized ChromeBook if the user has the same Google Account set up on the ChromeBook and in the work profile on th...Rule Low Severity -
Google Android 13 must be configured to not allow passwords that include more than four repeating or sequential characters.
Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. Passwords that contain repeating or sequential characters are significantly easier t...Rule Medium Severity -
Google Android 13 must be configured to lock the display after 15 minutes (or less) of inactivity.
The screen lock timeout must be set to a value that helps protect the device from unauthorized access. Having a too-long timeout would increase the window of opportunity for adversaries who gain ph...Rule Medium Severity -
Google Android 13 must be configured to enforce an application installation policy by specifying an application allowlist that restricts applications by the following characteristics: [selection: list of digital signatures, cryptographic hash values, names, application version].
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 provid...Rule Medium Severity -
Google Android 13 allowlist must be configured to not include applications with the following characteristics: 1. Back up mobile device (MD) data to non-DOD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services); 2. Transmit MD diagnostic data to non-DOD servers; 3. Voice assistant application if available when MD is locked; 4. Voice dialing application if available when MD is locked; 5. Allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user; and 6. Allows unencrypted (or encrypted but not FIPS 140-2 validated) data sharing with other MDs or printers.
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 con...Rule Medium Severity -
Google Android 13 must be configured to generate audit records for the following auditable events: Detected integrity violations.
Audit logs enable monitoring of security-relevant events and subsequent forensics when breaches occur. They help identify attacks so that breaches can be prevented or limited in their scope. They f...Rule Medium Severity -
Google Android 13 must be configured to not allow backup of [all applications, configuration data] to locally connected systems.
Data on mobile devices is protected by numerous mechanisms, including user authentication, access control, and cryptography. When the data is backed up to an external system (either locally connect...Rule Medium Severity -
The Google Android 13 work profile must be configured to enforce the system application disable list.
The system application disable list controls user access to/execution of all core and preinstalled applications. Core application: Any application integrated into Google Android 13 by Google. ...Rule Medium Severity
