    Group
  • Microsoft Android 11 allow list must be configured to not include 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/FIPS 140-3 validated) data sharing with other MDs or printers.

    Requiring all authorized applications to be in an application allow list prevents the execution of any applications (e.g., unauthorized, malicious) that are not part of the allow list. Failure to c...
