KNOX-07-018400 - The Samsung Android 7 with Knox must implement the management setting: Configure application disable list.

Information

Applications from various sources (including the vendor, the carrier, and Google) are installed on the device at the time of manufacture. Core apps are apps preinstalled by Google. Third-party preinstalled apps included apps from the vendor and carrier. Some of the applications can compromise DoD data or upload users' information to non-DoD-approved servers. A user must be blocked from using such applications that exhibit behavior that can result in compromise of DoD data or DoD user information. The site administrator must analyze all pre-installed applications on the device and block all applications not approved for DoD use by configuring the application disable list.
