Title

Google Android 16 must be configured to disable all data signaling over [assignment: list of externally accessible hardware ports (for example, USB)].

Control

Review the device configuration to confirm that the USB port is disabled except for charging the device. On the EMM console: COBO and COPE: 1. Open "Set user restrictions". 2. Verify that "Disallow USB file transfer" is set to "ON". If on the EMM console the USB port is not disabled ("Disallow USB file transfer" is set to "ON"), this is a finding.

Discussion

If a user is able to configure the security setting, the user could inadvertently or maliciously set it to a value that poses unacceptable risk to DoW information systems. An adversary could exploit vulnerabilities created by the weaker configuration to compromise DoW sensitive information. SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #24
