HONW-09-000500 - The Honeywell Mobility Edge Android Pie device must be configured to not allow more than 10 consecutive failed authentication attempts.
Information
The more attempts an adversary has to guess a password, the more likely the adversary will enter the correct password and gain access to resources on the device. Setting a limit on the number of attempts mitigates this risk. Setting the limit at 10 or less gives authorized users the ability to make a few mistakes when entering the password but still provides adequate protection against dictionary or brute force attacks on the password.SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #2c, FIA_AFL_EXT.1.5
Solution
Configure the Honeywell Android device to allow only 10 or fewer consecutive failed authentication attempts.On the MDM console:
1. Open password requirements.
2. Open device password section.
3. Set 'Maximum Number of Failed Attempts' to a number between 1 and 10.
