Information

The macOS system must disable hot corners.

GROUP ID: V-259422RULE ID: SV-259422r958404

Hot corners must be disabled.

The information system conceals, via the session lock, information previously visible on the display with a publicly viewable image. Although hot corners can be used to initiate a session lock or to launch useful applications, they can also be configured to disable an automatic session lock from initiating. Such a configuration introduces the risk that a user might forget to manually lock the screen before stepping away from the computer.

Solution

Configure the macOS system to disable hot corners by installing the "com.apple.ManagedClient.preferences" configuration profile.
