Check: KNOX-12-110240
Samsung Android 12 with Knox 3.x COBO STIG:
KNOX-12-110240
(in versions v1 r2 through v1 r1)
Title
Samsung Android must be configured to not allow backup of all applications, configuration data to remote systems. - Disable Data Sync Framework (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Backups to remote systems (including cloud backup) can leave data vulnerable to breach on the external systems, which often offer less protection than the MOS. Where the remote backup involves a cloud-based solution, the backup capability is often used to synchronize data across multiple devices. In this case, DoD devices may synchronize DoD sensitive information to a user's personal device or other unauthorized computers that are vulnerable to breach. Disallowing remote backup mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #40
