Title

The Samsung SDS EMM must be configured with a periodicity for reachable events of six hours or less for the following commands to the agent: - query connectivity status; - query the current version of the MD firmware/software; - query the current version of installed mobile applications; - read audit logs kept by the MD. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Key security-related status attributes must be queried frequently so the Samsung SDS EMM can report status of devices under management to the administrator and management. The frequency of these queries must be configured to an acceptable timeframe. Six hours or less is considered acceptable for normal operations. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1(2) c.3

Check Content

Review the MDM agent configuration settings to determine if the agent is configured with a periodicity of reachable events set to six hours or less. This validation procedure is performed on the Samsung SDS EMM Server Admin Console. 1. Log in to the Samsung SDS EMM Server Admin Console using a web browser. 2. Go to Setting >> Server >> Configuration. 3. For Android: On row 27 verify "Inventory Collection Period for Android (hr)" is set to "6" or less. 4. For iOS: On row 28 verify "Inventory Collection Period for iOS (hr)" is set to "6" or less. If the periodicity of reachable events is not set to "6" hours or less, this is a finding.
