DoD Link

Jack sent me the link below:

http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/net_perimeter/wireless/smartphone.html

It is the DoD Network / Perimeter / Wireless - Wireless (Smartphone/Tablet) Mobile Security Guides.  It covers iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile.  Interestingly, it only mentions Android 2.2 with no mention of the later versions.  Also, based on my quick review, it mentions that certain phones will not be allowed without being registered with their MDM.  I have to read up on it a little but sounds like a gold mine.

One last note, there are memos available from the Chief Information Assurance Executive.  They mention that the DoD is converting from the DoD 8500 Information Assurance controls to the NIST 800-53, precisely the publication Dr. Ron Ross has worked on and referred me to!  I will be attending his talk on June 20th regarding this publication.
