Discussion

The security posture of the MDM server could be compromised if the administrator is not trained to follow required procedures.

Check Content

Verify the MDM server administrator(s) has received annual required training. The site should document when the training was completed. The MDM server administrator must be trained on the following requirements: -Administrative service accounts will not be used to log into the MDM server or any server service. -Activation passwords or PINs will consist of a pseudo-random pattern of at least eight characters consisting of at least two letters and two numbers. A new activation password must be selected each time one is assigned (e.g., the same password cannot be used for all users or for a group of users). - User and group accounts on the CMD management server will always be assigned a STIG-compliant security/IT policy. If the MDM server admin did not receive required training annually, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Develop and publish policy mandating the MDM administrator completes and documents his/her training annually.
