Handoff must be disabled. Handoff allows users to continue working on a document or project when the user switches from one Apple device to another. Disabling Handoff prevents data transfers to unauthorized devices.
Audit:
Verify the macOS system is configured to disable handoff with the following command:
/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowActivityContinuation').js
EOS
If the result is not "false", this is a finding.
Remediation:
Configure the macOS system to disable handoff by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile with 'allowActivityContinuation' key set to false
Parameter:
[Yes/No]
Technical Mechanism:
Configure the macOS system to disable handoff by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile with 'allowActivityContinuation' key set to false
