  • 1.  Samsung exploit reporting

    Posted Mon May 11, 2020 10:36 AM
    With the news of the Samsung messaging app exploit, are we able to report on Samsung patch levels in MaaS360 like we can with Android OS patches with device groups criteria?

    Hi Matt - we can absolutely report back on that, but to really be able to take granular action, you'll have to subscribe to Samsungs EFOTA program, which we would then integrate with to distribute updates.

    Thanks Matt - sadly we're not signed up and have no immediate plans to do this.
    Are we able to at least do an Advanced Search to list the devices on a certain Samsung patch level?

    Yes - in addition to the standard OS version reporting, we report on the Samsung security patch level in a time/date format.  This can be found in the advanced search properties under Operating System-->Security Patch Level.
