We've released our new Desktop Application for macOS and Windows. This application will replace the web extension and provide a more seamless experience for users.

The XFA Desktop Application allows dekstop devices to communicate with the XFA service and serves as a critical tool for maintaining device compliance, managing multi-factor authentication (MFA), and controlling data sharing with organizations.

More info.

You can now link your Okta account to XFA to discover all your devices and ensure compliance. XFA reads authentication logs and derives the devices used by each user from these logs. This will lead to a full overview of all discovered devices without verified information.

Get started in the XFA Dashboard under Discovery.

In the Awareness tab, you can configure which devices and groups receive awareness emails. Before you can configure which emails to send and the frequency, you need to define the scope for the devices and groups that will receive these emails.

Scoping Options​

When setting up the scope, you can choose between:

1. All Devices: Emails will be sent to all discovered or enforeced devices within your organization.

2. Limited Scope: Fine-tune which devices and users receive emails by configuring the following options:

   • Ignore Managed Devices: Exclude devices managed by your IT team from receiving emails.
   • Ignore Desktop Devices: Exclude desktop devices from receiving emails.
   • Ignore Mobile Devices: Exclude mobile devices from receiving emails.

   If your organization has completed a discovery integration (e.g., with Google Workspace, Microsoft, or Okta), you can also configure group-based scoping:

   • Groups: Select specific groups to receive emails. These groups are managed within the integration application (e.g., Google Workspace Admin Console).

You can now choose which notifications you want to receive. We may still send you important information about your account outside of your notification settings.

Manage your notifications.

You can now accept beta versions or major versions on your policy. This will allow you to have more flexibility when enforcing security rules for your organization’s devices. This is only possible on the OS version or the browser version for now.

Learn more about Policies.

It's now possible to see the managed devices in your dashboard. This will give you a better overview of which devices are managed by an MDM and which are not. You can see that managed devices have an extra tag in the overview. This tag is dependent on the MDM you are using to manage your devices.

See your devices in the XFA Dashboard.

We've added the statistics based on the device checks you have selected in your policy on your dashboard and in your weekly email. This will give you a better overview of the devices that are compliant with your policy.

Get started in the XFA Dashboard.

Our dashboard is now mobile-friendly! You can now access the XFA dashboard from your mobile device and ensure device security on the go.
