Information

The security posture of Google devices requires the device user to configure several required policy rules on their device. User-Based Enforcement (UBE) is required for these controls. In addition, if the authorizing official (AO) has approved the use of an unmanaged personal space, the user must receive training on risks. If a user is not aware of their responsibilities and does not comply with UBE requirements, the security posture of the Google mobile device may become compromised, and DOD sensitive data may become compromised.

Solution

All Google Android 16 device users must complete training on the following training topics (users must acknowledge that they have reviewed training via a signed User Agreement or similar written record):
- Operational security concerns introduced by unmanaged applications/unmanaged personal space, including applications using global positioning system (GPS) tracking.
- Need to ensure no DOD data is saved to the personal space or transmitted from a personal app (for example, from personal email).
- If the Purebred key management app is used, users are responsible for maintaining positive control of their credentialed device at all times. The DOD PKI certificate policy requires subscribers to maintain positive control of the devices that contain private keys and report any loss of control so the credentials can be revoked. Upon device retirement, turn-in, or reassignment, ensure that a factory data reset is performed prior to device handoff. Follow mobility service provider decommissioning procedures as applicable.
- How to configure the following UBE controls (users must configure the control) on the Google device:
 **Secure use of Calendar Alarm.
 **Local screen mirroring and mirroring procedures (authorized/not authorized for use).
 **Do not upload DOD contacts via smart call and caller ID services.
 **Do not configure a DOD network (work) VPN profile on any third-party VPN client installed in the personal space.
 **If Bluetooth connections are approved for mobile device, types of allowed connections (for example, car hands-free but not Bluetooth wireless keyboard).
 **How to perform a full device wipe.
 **Use default Wi-Fi hotspot password: 15-character complex Wi-Fi hotspot preshared password enabled ('WPA2/WPA3-personal')
- AO guidance on acceptable use and restrictions, if any, on downloading and installing personal apps and data (music, photos, etc.) in the Google device personal space.
