Title

The AirWatch MDM Server device integrity validation component must identify the affected mobile device, severity of the finding, and provide a recommended mitigation. (Cat I impact)

Discussion

One of the most significant indicators of an IA attack is modification of operating system files, device drivers, or security enforcement mechanisms. An integrity verification capability or tool detects unauthorized modifications to files or permissions and either prevents further operation or reports its findings so an appropriate response can occur.

(4) Click "Next". (5) On Actions tab, verify the correct Action to take is set (for notification, first drop-down box should read "Notify", second should read "Send Email to Administrator", and third should list applicable email addresses). (6) On Assignment tab, verify correct device types, users, or groups are assigned.
