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

Install a configuration profile to treat AirDrop as an unmanaged destination.
