HONW-09-001100: The Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie device whitelist must be configured to not include applications with the following characteristics: - back up MD data to non-DoD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services); - transmit MD diagnostic data to non-DoD servers; - voice assistant application if available when MD is locked; - voice dialing application if available when MD is locked; - allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user; and - allows unencrypted (or encrypted but not FIPS 140-2 validated) data sharing with other MDs or printers.
Review Honeywell Android device configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has an application whitelist configured and that the application whitelist does not include applications with the following characteristics: - back up MD data to non-DoD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services); - transmit MD diagnostic data to non-DoD servers; - voice assistant application if available when MD is locked; - voice dialing application if available when MD is locked; - allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user; - payment processing; and - allows unencrypted (or encrypted but not FIPS 140-2 validated) data sharing with other MDs, display screens (screen mirroring), or printers. This validation procedure is performed only on the MDM Administration console. On the MDM console: 1. Review the list of selected Managed Honeywell Play apps. 2. Review the details and privacy policy of each selected app to ensure the app does not include prohibited characteristics. If the MDM console device policy includes applications with unauthorized characteristics, this is a finding.
Discussion
Requiring all authorized applications to be in an application whitelist prevents the execution of any applications (e.g., unauthorized, malicious) that are not part of the whitelist. Failure to configure an application whitelist properly could allow unauthorized and malicious applications to be downloaded, installed, and executed on the mobile device, causing a compromise of DoD data accessible by these applications. Applications with the listed characteristics have features that can cause the compromise of sensitive DoD data or have features with no known application in the DoD environment. Application note: The application whitelist, in addition to controlling the installation of applications on the MD, must control user access/execution of all core and preinstalled applications, or the MD must provide an alternate method of restricting user access/execution to core and pre-installed applications. Core application: Any application integrated into the OS by the OS or MD vendors. Pre-installed application: Additional non-core applications included in the OS build by the OS vendor, MD vendor, or wireless carrier. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #8b
Fix
Configure the Honeywell Android device application whitelist to exclude applications with the following characteristics: - back up MD data to non-DoD cloud servers (including user and application access to cloud backup services); - transmit MD diagnostic data to non-DoD servers; - voice assistant application if available when MD is locked; - voice dialing application if available when MD is locked; - allows synchronization of data or applications between devices associated with user; - payment processing; and - allows unencrypted (or encrypted but not FIPS 140-2 validated) data sharing with other MDs, display screens (screen mirroring), or printers. On the MDM console: 1. Go to the Android app catalog for managed Honeywell Play. 2. Before selecting an app, review the app details and privacy policy to ensure the app does not include prohibited characteristics.

HONW-09-009400: Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie devices work profile must be configured to enforce the system application disable list.
Review the Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie devices Work Profile configuration settings to confirm the system application disable list is enforced. This setting is enforced by default. What needs to happen is to verify only approved system apps have been placed on the core whitelist. This procedure is performed on the MDM Administrator console. Review the system app whitelist and verify only approved apps are on the list. If on the MDM console the system app whitelist contains unapproved core apps, this is a finding.
Discussion
The system application disable list controls user access to/execution of all core and preinstalled applications. Core application: Any application integrated into Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie devices by Honeywell. Preinstalled application: Additional noncore applications included in the Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie device build by Honeywell or the wireless carrier. Some system applications can compromise DoD data or upload users' information to non-DoD-approved servers. A user must be blocked from using such applications that exhibit behavior that can result in compromise of DoD data or DoD user information. The site administrator must analyze all preinstalled applications on the device and disable all applications not approved for DoD use by configuring the system application disable list. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47
Fix
Configure Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie devices Work Profile to enforce the system application disable list. The required configuration is the default configuration when the device is enrolled. If the device configuration is changed, use the following procedure to bring the device back into compliance: On the MDM, configure a list of approved Honeywell core and preinstalled apps in the core app whitelist.

HONW-09-008700: Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie devices users must complete required training.
Review a sample of site User Agreements for Honeywell device users or similar training records and training course content. Verify that Honeywell device users have completed the required training. The intent is that required training is renewed on a periodic basis in a time period determined by the AO. If any Honeywell device user has not completed the required training, this is a finding.
Discussion
The security posture of Honeywell devices requires the device user to configure several required policy rules on their device. User-Based Enforcement (UBE) is required for these controls. In addition, if the Authorizing Official (AO) has approved the use of an unmanaged personal space, the user must receive training on risks. If a user is not aware of their responsibilities and does not comply with UBE requirements, the security posture of the Honeywell mobile device may become compromised and DoD sensitive data may become compromised. SFR ID: NA
Fix
Have all Honeywell device users complete training on the following topics. Users should acknowledge that they have reviewed training via a signed User Agreement or similar written record. Training topics: - Operational security concerns introduced by unmanaged applications/unmanaged personal space, including applications using global positioning system (GPS) tracking. - Need to ensure no DoD data is saved to the personal space or transmitted from a personal app (for example, from personal email). - If the Purebred key management app is used, users are responsible for maintaining positive control of their credentialed device at all times. The DoD PKI certificate policy requires subscribers to maintain positive control of the devices that contain private keys and to report any loss of control so the credentials can be revoked. Upon device retirement, turn-in, or reassignment, ensure that a factory data reset is performed prior to device hand-off. Follow mobility service provider decommissioning procedures as applicable. - How to configure the following UBE controls (users must configure the control) on the Honeywell device: **Secure use of Calendar Alarm **Local screen mirroring and Mirroring procedures (authorized/not authorized for use) **Do not upload DoD contacts via smart call and caller ID services **Do not remove DoD intermediate and root PKI digital certificates **Disable Wi-Fi Sharing **Do not configure a DoD network (work) VPN profile on any third-party VPN client installed in the personal space **If Bluetooth connections are approved for mobile device, types of allowed connections (for example car handsfree, but not Bluetooth wireless keyboard) - AO guidance on acceptable use and restrictions, if any, on downloading and installing personal apps and data (music, photos, etc.) in the Honeywell device personal space.

HONW-09-002300: The Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie device must be configured to disable trust agents. NOTE: This requirement is not applicable (NA) for specific biometric authentication factors included in the product's Common Criteria evaluation.
Review device configuration settings to confirm that trust agents are disabled. This procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration console and the Honeywell Android Pie device. On the MDM console: 1. Open Restrictions section. 2. Set "Disable trust agents" to "On". On the Honeywell Android Pie device: 1. Open Settings. 2. Tap "Security & location". 3. Tap "Advanced". 4. Tap "Trust agents". 5. Verify that all listed trust agents are disabled and cannot be enabled. If on the MDM console "disable trust agents" is not selected, or on the Honeywell Android Pie device a trust agent can be enabled, this is a finding.
Discussion
Trust agents allow a user to unlock a mobile device without entering a passcode when the mobile device is, for example, connected to a user-selected Bluetooth device or in a user-selected location. This technology would allow unauthorized users to have access to DoD sensitive data if compromised. By not permitting the use of non-password authentication mechanisms, users are forced to use passcodes that meet DoD passcode requirements. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #23, FIA_UAU.5.1

HONW-09-001600: The Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie device must be configured to not display the following (work profile) notifications when the device is locked: [selection: - email notifications - calendar appointments - contact associated with phone call notification - text message notification - other application-based notifications - all notifications].
Review Honeywell Android device settings to determine if the Honeywell Android device displays (work container) notifications on the lock screen. Notifications of incoming phone calls are acceptable even when the device is locked. This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration console and the Android Pie device. On the MDM console: 1. Open Restrictions section. 2. Open Work Managed Section. 3. Ensure "Unredacted Notifications" is set to "Disallow". On the Honeywell Android Pie device: 1. Go to Settings >> Security & location. 2. Tap on Lock screen preferences. 3. Ensure "Hide sensitive work content" is listed under "When work profile is locked". If the MDM console device policy allows work notifications on the lock screen or the Android Pie device allows work notifications on the lock screen, this is a finding.
Discussion
Many mobile devices display notifications on the lock screen so that users can obtain relevant information in a timely manner without having to frequently unlock the phone to determine if there are new notifications. However, in many cases, these notifications can contain sensitive information. When they are available on the lock screen, an adversary can see them merely by being in close physical proximity to the device. Configuring the Honeywell Android device to not send notifications to the lock screen mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #19
Fix
Configure the Honeywell Android device to not display (work profile) notifications when the device is locked. On the MDM console: 1. Open Restrictions section. 2. Open Work Managed Section. 3. Set "Unredacted Notifications" to "Disallow".

HONW-09-000100: The Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie device must be configured to enforce a minimum password length of six characters.
Review Honeywell Android device configuration settings to determine if the mobile device is enforcing a minimum password length of six characters. This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration console and the Android Pie device. On the MDM console: 1. Open password requirements. 2. Open device password section. 3. Ensure the minimum password length is set to "6" characters. On the Honeywell Android Pie device: 1. Open Settings >> Security & location >> Screen lock. 2. Enter current password. 3. Tap on "Password". 4. Verify Password length listed is at least "6". If the device password length is not set to six characters or more on the MDM console or on the Honeywell Android Pie device, this is a finding.
Discussion
Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. The ability to crack a password is a function of how many attempts an adversary is permitted, how quickly an adversary can do each attempt, and the size of the password space. The longer the minimum length of the password is, the larger the password space. Having a too-short minimum password length significantly reduces password strength, increasing the chance of password compromise, and resulting device and data compromise. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #1a
Fix

HONW-09-001000: The Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie device must be configured to enforce an application installation policy by specifying an application whitelist that restricts applications by the following characteristics: [selection: list of digital signatures, cryptographic hash values, names, application version].
Review Honeywell Android device configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has an application whitelist configured. Verify all applications listed on the whitelist have been approved by the Approving Official (AO). This validation procedure is performed only on the MDM Administration console. On the MDM console: 1. Go to the Android app catalog for managed Honeywell Play. 2. Verify all selected apps are AO approved. NOTE: Managed Google Play is always a Whitelisted App Store. If on the MDM console the list of selected Managed Honeywell Play apps included non-approved apps, this is a finding. NOTE: The application whitelist will include approved core applications (included in the OS by the OS vendor) and pre-installed applications (provided by the MD vendor and wireless carrier), or the MD must provide an alternate method of restricting user access/execution to core and pre-installed applications. For Honeywell Android, there are no pre-installed applications.
Discussion
The application whitelist, in addition to controlling the installation of applications on the MD, must control user access/execution of all core and preinstalled applications, or the MD must provide an alternate method of restricting user access/execution to core and pre-installed applications. Core application: Any application integrated into the OS by the OS or MD vendors. Pre-installed application: Additional non-core applications included in the OS build by the OS vendor, MD vendor, or wireless carrier. Requiring all authorized applications to be in an application whitelist prevents the execution of any applications (e.g., unauthorized, malicious) that are not part of the whitelist. Failure to configure an application whitelist properly could allow unauthorized and malicious applications to be downloaded, installed, and executed on the mobile device, causing a compromise of DoD data accessible by these applications.

If the MDM console device policy is set to a password with more than two repeating or sequential characters or on the Honeywell Android Pie device, the device policy is set to a password with more than two repeating or sequential characters, this is a finding. NOTE: Alphabetic, Alphanumeric, and Complex are also acceptable selections, but these selections will cause the user to select a complex password, which is not required by the STIG.
Discussion
Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. Passwords that contain repeating or sequential characters are significantly easier to guess than those that do not contain repeating or sequential characters. Therefore, disallowing repeating or sequential characters increases password strength and decreases risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #1b

If, for Method #1, the required warning banner text is not on all signed user agreements reviewed, or for Method #2, the MDM console device policy is not set to display a warning banner with the appropriate designated wording or on the Honeywell Android Pie device, the device policy is not set to display a warning banner with the appropriate designated wording, this is a finding.
Discussion
The Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie device is required to display the DoD-approved system use notification message or banner before granting access to the system that provides privacy and security notices consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance. Required banners help ensure that DoD can audit and monitor the activities of mobile device users without legal restriction. System use notification messages can be displayed when individuals first access or unlock the mobile device. The banner must be implemented as a "click-through" banner at device unlock (to the extent permitted by the operating system). A "click-through" banner prevents further activity on the information system unless and until the user executes a positive action to manifest agreement by clicking on a box indicating "OK." The approved DoD text must be used exactly as required in the KS referenced in DoDI 8500.01. For devices accommodating banners of 1300 characters, the banner text is: You are accessing a U.S. Government (USG) Information System (IS) that is provided for USG-authorized use only. By using this IS (which includes any device attached to this IS), you consent to the following conditions: -The USG routinely intercepts and monitors communications on this IS for purposes including, but not limited to, penetration testing, COMSEC monitoring, network operations and defense, personnel misconduct (PM), law enforcement (LE), and counterintelligence (CI) investigations. -At any time, the USG may inspect and seize data stored on this IS. -Communications using, or data stored on, this IS are not private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception, and search, and may be disclosed or used for any USG-authorized purpose. -This IS includes security measures (e.g., authentication and access controls) to protect USG interests--not for your personal benefit or privacy. -Notwithstanding the above, using this IS does not constitute consent to PM, LE or CI investigative searching or monitoring of the content of privileged communications, or work product, related to personal representation or services by attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their assistants. Such communications and work product are private and confidential. See User Agreement for details. For devices with severe character limitations, the banner text is: I've read & consent to terms in IS user agreem't. The administrator must configure the banner text exactly as written without any changes. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #36

Devices without a screen-lock timeout provide an opportunity for adversaries who gain physical access to the mobile device through loss, theft, etc. Such devices are much more likely to be in an unlocked state when acquired by an adversary, thus granting immediate access to the data on the mobile device, and possibly access to DoD networks. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #2a
Fix
Configure the Honeywell Android device to enable a screen-lock policy that will lock the display after a period of inactivity. On the MDM console: 1. Open password requirements. 2. Open device password section. 3. Set "Device Lock Timeout" to any number desired. Units are in minutes.

HONW-09-004500: The Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie device must be configured to disable exceptions to the access control policy that prevents application processes from accessing all data stored by other application processes.
Review documentation on the Honeywell Android device and inspect the configuration on the Honeywell Android device to verify the access control policy that prevents [selection: application processes] from accessing [selection: all] data stored by other [selection: application processes] is enabled. This validation procedure is performed only on the MDM Administration console. On the MDM console: 1. Open Restrictions settings. 2. Open User restrictions. 3. Ensure "Disallow cross profile copy/paste" is selected. 4. Ensure "Disallow sharing data into the profile" is selected. If the MDM console device policy is not set to disable data sharing between profiles, this is a finding.
Discussion
App data sharing gives apps the ability to access the data of other apps for enhanced user functionality. However, sharing also poses a significant risk that unauthorized users or apps will obtain access to DoD sensitive information. To mitigate this risk, there are data sharing restrictions. If a user is allowed to make exceptions to the data sharing restriction policy, the user could enable unauthorized sharing of data, leaving it vulnerable to breach. Limiting the granting of exceptions to either the Administrator or common application developer mitigates this risk. Copy/paste of data between applications in different application processes or groups of application processes is considered an exception to the access control policy and therefore, the Administrator must be able to enable/disable the feature. Other exceptions include allowing any data or application sharing between process groups. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #42, FDP_ACF_EXT.1.2
Fix
Configure the Honeywell Android Pie to enable the access control policy that prevents [selection: application processes, groups of application processes] from accessing [selection: all, private] data stored by other [selection: application processes, groups of application processes]. NOTE: All application data is inherently sandboxed and isolated from other applications. In order to disable copy/paste on the MDM Console: 1. Open Restrictions settings. 2. Open User restrictions. 3. Select "Disallow cross profile copy/paste". 4. Select "Disallow sharing data into the profile".

HONW-09-010000: Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie devices Work Profile must be configured to disable the autofill services.
Review the Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie devices Workspace configuration settings to confirm that autofill services are disabled. This procedure is performed only on the MDM Administration console. On the MDM console, for the Workspace, in the "Android user restrictions" group, under the work profile, verify that "disallow autofill" is selected. If on the MDM console "disallow autofill" is selected, this is a finding.
Discussion
The autofill services allow the user to complete text inputs that could contain sensitive information, such as personally identifiable information (PII), without previous knowledge of the information. By allowing the use of autofill services, an adversary who learns a user's Honeywell Android Pie device password, or who otherwise is able to unlock the device, may be able to further breach other systems by relying on the autofill services to provide information unknown to the adversary. By disabling the autofill services, the risk of an adversary gaining further information about the device's user or compromising other systems is significantly mitigated. Examples of apps that offer autofill services include Samsung Pass, Honeywell, Dashlane, LastPass, and 1Password. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47
