Description
Data on mobile devices is protected by numerous mechanisms, including user authentication, access control, and cryptography. When the data is backed up to an external system (either locally connected or cloud based), many if not all of these mechanisms are no longer present. This leaves the backed-up data vulnerable to attack. Disabling backup to external systems mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #40

Review Zebra Android 10 device configuration settings to determine if the capability to back up to a locally connected system has been disabled. This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Android 10 device. On the MDM console: 1. Open User restrictions. 2. Select "Disallow USB file transfer". On the Zebra Android 10 device: 1. Plug a USB cable into the Android 10 device and connect to a non-DoD network-managed PC. 2. Go to Settings >> Connected devices >> USB. 3. Verify “No data transfer” is selected. If the MDM console device policy is not set to disable the capability to back up to a locally connected system or on the Android 10 device, the device policy is not set to disable the capability to back up to a locally connected system, this is a finding.
