Fix Recommendation

Configure Samsung Android Work Environment to use an application allowlist.

The application allowlist does not control user access to/execution of all core and preinstalled applications, and guidance for doing so is covered in KNOX-10-009300.

On the management tool, in the Work Environment KPE application section, add each AO-approved app to the "app installation allowlist".

NOTE: Refer to the management tool documentation to determine the following:
- If an application installation denylist is also required to be configured when enforcing an "app installation allowlist"; and
- If the management tool supports adding apps to the "app installation allowlist" by package name and/or digital signature or supports a combination of the two.

Check Contents

Review the Samsung Android Work Environment configuration setting to determine if the mobile device has an application allowlist configured. Verify that all applications listed on the allowlist have been approved by the Approving Official (AO).

This validation procedure is performed only on the management tool Administration Console.

On the management tool, in the Work Environment KPE restrictions section, verify that only AO-approved apps are listed in the "app installation allowlist".

If on the management tool the Work Environment "app installation allowlist" contains non-AO-approved apps, this is a finding.
