Samsung Android must be configured to not allow backup of all applications, configuration data to remote systems. - Disable Data Sync Framework.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Backups to remote systems (including cloud backup) can leave data vulnerable to breach on the external systems, which often offer less protection than the MOS. Where the remote backup involves a cloud-based solution, the backup capability is often used to synchronize data across multiple devices. In this case, DOD devices may synchronize DOD sensitive information to a user's personal device or other unauthorized computers that are vulnerable to breach. The Data Sync Framework allows apps to synchronize data between the mobile device and other web-based services. This uses accounts for services the user has added to the mobile device. Preventing the user from adding accounts to the device mitigates this risk.
