Description
Ad hoc wireless client-to-client connections allow mobile devices to communicate with each other directly, circumventing network security policies and making the traffic invisible. This could allow the exposure of sensitive DOD data and increase the risk of downloading and installing malware of the DOD mobile device. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1/WLAN

ℹ️ Check
Review the configuration to determine if the Zebra Android devices are disallowing Wi-Fi Direct. This validation procedure is performed on both the management tool and the Zebra Android device. On the management tool, in the user restrictions, verify "Wi-Fi Direct" has been set to "Disallow". On the Zebra Android device: 1. Open Settings >> Connections >> Wi-Fi. 2. From the hamburger menu, select Wi-Fi Direct. 3. Verify that Wi-Fi Direct cannot be selected. If on the management tool "Wi-Fi Direct" is not set to "Disallow", or on the Zebra Android device a Wi-Fi direct device is listed that can be connected to, this is a finding.
