Title

The AirWatch MDM Server device integrity validation component must include the capability to notify an organization-defined list of response personnel who are identified by name and/or by role notifications of suspicious events. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Integrity checking applications are by their nature, designed to monitor and detect defined events occurring on the system. When the integrity checking mechanism finds an anomaly, it must notify personnel in order to ensure the proper action is taken based upon the integrity issues found. If notification is not performed, the issue may continue or worsen to allow intruders into the system.
