The Samsung Android device must be configured to disable Wi-Fi Aware for work profile apps.

Wi-Fi Aware allows direct connections between nearby devices for fast data transfer, video streaming, and multiplayer gaming. It allows full peer-to-peer device discovery and communication where two or more devices are publishing and/or subscribing to the same known service name. There is risk that sensitive DoW information could be transferred from a DoW mobile device to a non-DoW device or from work profile apps on a DoW device to Personal Profile apps on a non-DoW device.

Review device configuration settings to confirm Wi-Fi Aware is disabled for each work profile app.

This procedure is performed on the EMM console.

For each work profile app, verify the app is configured to deny the NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICE permission. Note: Not all apps will support Wi-Fi Aware and have the NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICE permission.

If on the EMM console, the NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICE permission is not set to "deny" for all work profile apps that support Wi-Fi Aware, this is a finding.

Configure the Samsung Android 17 device to disable Wi-Fi Aware for all work profile apps.

On the EMM console:

For each work profile app, configure the NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICE permission to "deny" to block the use of Wi-Fi Aware, if the app supports this feature. If the app does not support Wi-Fi Aware, there may not be a NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICE permission available.
