The Google Android 14 BYOAD must be configured to disable device cameras and/or microphones when brought into DOD facilities where mobile phone cameras and/or microphones are prohibited.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>In some DOD operational environments, the use of the mobile device camera or microphone could lead to a security incident or compromise of DOD information. The System Administrator must have the capability to disable the mobile device camera and/or microphone based on mission needs. Alternatively, mobile devices with cameras or microphones that cannot be disabled must be prohibited from the facility by the ISSO/ISSM. If BYOAD devices are brought into facilities where the AO has determined the risk of using mobile device cameras or microphones is unacceptable, this could lead to the exposure of sensitive DOD data.
