Information
An Airdrop feature is a way to send contact information or photos to other users with this same feature enabled. This feature enables a possible attack vector for adversaries to exploit. Once the attacker has gained access to the information broadcast by this feature, he/she may distribute this sensitive information very quickly and without DoD's control or awareness. By disabling this feature, the risk of mass data exfiltration will be mitigated.
Note: If the site uses Apple's optional Device Enrollment Program (DEP), this control is available as a supervised MDM control.
SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47
Solution
If the AO has not approved the use of AirDrop for unmanaged data transfer, install a configuration profile to disable the AllowAirDrop control in the management tool. This a supervised-only control.
