Discussion

Failure to generate these audit records makes it more difficult to identify or investigate attempted or successful compromises, potentially causing incidents to last longer than necessary. SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1(3) c, FAU_GEN.1.1(2)

Check Content

Review the MaaS360 server console and confirm the server is configured to alert for audit event failures on managed mobile devices.

On the MaaS360 Console, complete the following steps:
1. Navigate to Devices >> Groups.
2. Have the System Administrator identify one or more groups that alert for failure to update an existing application on a managed mobile device.
3. Select "edit" for one of the identified groups and verify that the two conditions exist:
- Condition 1: "Software Installed", "Application Name", "Contains", "<Name of Application>"
- Condition 2: "Software Installed", "Full Version", "Contains","<latest version of Application>"
4. Navigate to Security >> Compliance Rules.
5. Have the System Administrator identify one or more Rule Set Names that alert for failure to update an existing application on a managed mobile device.
6. Open “Rule Set Name” and select “Enforcement Rules”.
7. Verify that “Application Compliance” is enabled and "Alert" is selected for “Enforcement Action”.
8. Go to Group Based Rules and verify that the rule selected in Step 5 has been assigned to the group identified in Step 3.

If two conditions in the device group are not set correctly, or application compliance is not enabled and set correctly in the rule set name, or the rule is not assigned to the group, this is a finding.
