Title

The macOS system must disable Handoff.

Control

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable Handoff with the following command: /usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS $.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\ .objectForKey('allowActivityContinuation').js EOS If the result is not "false", this is a finding.

Discussion

Handoff must be disabled. Handoff allows users to continue working on a document or project when the user switches from one Apple device to another. Disabling Handoff prevents data transfers to unauthorized devices. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000080-GPOS-00048, SRG-OS-000095-GPOS-00049, SRG-OS-000300-GPOS-00118
