Discussion

DoW mobile devices are in constant risk of cyber threats. MTD apps mitigate these risks by providing real-time threat detection, malware prevention, and vulnerability analysis.

SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #47

Check

Confirm an MTD app is installed on managed Google Android devices.

This check procedure is performed on both the device management tool and the Google Android device.

In the MDM console, verify that an MTD app is listed as a managed app being deployed to site managed devices.

On the Google Android device:

1. Open the Settings app. 2. Tap "Apps" and then "See all apps". 3. Verify that an MTD app is listed.

If an MTD app is not installed on the device, this is a finding.

Fix

Install an MTD app on managed Google Android devices.
