KNOX-07-002600 - The Samsung must be configured to not display the following notifications when the device is locked: All notifications.

Information

Many mobile devices display notifications on the lock screen so that users can obtain relevant information in a timely manner without having to frequently unlock the phone to determine if there are new notifications. However, in many cases, these notifications can contain sensitive information. When they are available on the lock screen, an adversary can see them merely by being in close physical proximity to the device. Configuring the Samsung Android 7 with Knox to not send notifications to the lock screen mitigates this risk.

SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #19

Solution

Configure the Samsung Android 7 with Knox to not display notifications when the device is locked.

On the MDM console, enable "Hide content" or "Do not show notification" in the "Notifications on lock screen" setting in the "Android Restrictions" rule.
