The AirWatch MDM Server must terminate the network connection associated with a communications session at the end of the session or after an organization-defined time period of inactivity.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-47343	ARWA-03-000185	SV-60215r1_rule		Medium

Description
If communication’s sessions remain open for extended periods of time even when unused, there is the potential for an adversary to highjack the session and use it to gain access to the device or networks to which it is attached. Terminating sessions after a certain period of inactivity is a method for mitigating the risk of this vulnerability.
