Discussion

If a user is able to configure the security setting, the user could inadvertently or maliciously set it to a value that poses unacceptable risk to DoW information systems. An adversary could exploit vulnerabilities created by the weaker configuration to compromise DoW sensitive information. SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #24

On the EMM console:

COBO and COPE:

1. Open "Set user restrictions".
2. Verify that "Disallow USB file transfer" is set to "ON".
 
If on the EMM console the USB port is not disabled ("Disallow USB file transfer" is set to "ON"), this is a finding.
