Fix Recommendation

Configure Samsung Android Workspace to enforce the system application disable list.

Do one of the following:
- Method # 1 (preferred): Use managed Google Play for the Workspace (managed profile).
- Method #2: Use the Knox system application disable list.

****

Method #1: On the MDM console, for the Workspace, in the "managed Google Play" group, add all non-AO-approved system app packages to the system application disable list.

****

Method #2: On the MDM console, for the Workspace, in the "Knox application" group, add all non-AO-approved system app packages to the system application disable list.

****

Refer to the "System Apps for disablement (other characteristics)" and "System Apps That Must Not Be Disabled" tables in the Supplemental document for this STIG.

Check Contents

Review the Samsung Android Workspace configurations settings to confirm that the system application disable list has been configured.

This procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration console and the Samsung Android device.

Confirm if Method #1 or Method #2 is used at the Samsung device site and follow the appropriate procedure.

****

Method #1: On the MDM console, for the Workspace, in the "managed Google Play" group, verify that the system application disable list contains all apps that have not been approved for DoD use by the Authorizing Official (AO).

On the Samsung Android device, review the apps on the "Workspace" App screen and confirm that none of the apps listed in the system application disable list are present.

If the system application disable list does not contain all the apps that have not been approved by the AO, or if an app listed can be found on the "Workspace" App screen of the Samsung Android device, this is a finding.

****

Method #2: On the MDM console, for the Workspace, in the "Knox application" group, verify that the system application disable list contains all apps that have not been approved for DoD use by the AO.

On the Samsung Android device, review the apps on the "Workspace" App screen and confirm that none of the apps listed in the system application disable list are present.

If the system application disable list does not contain all the apps that have not been approved by the AO, or if an app listed can be found on the "Workspace" App screen of the Samsung Android device, this is a finding.
