Clearer policy settings and a redesigned Discovery

This week is about making setup clearer: you can see exactly when an Enforcement policy warns or blocks, and adding a Discovery connection is simpler.

See exactly when a device is warned or blocked

Setting up an Enforcement policy no longer means guessing what will happen. The policy settings now show a threshold timeline and a live timing summary as you edit, plus suggestion chips for common warn and block windows. You can see precisely when a device would be warned, and when it would be blocked, before you save. Enforcement stays configurable: a policy can warn or block, with or without an Awareness notification. Set up a policy

A simpler way to connect Discovery

Discovery has a redesigned two-column overview and a clearer way to add a connection. Selecting Add connection now opens a provider picker for Microsoft, Google or Okta and takes you straight to a step-by-step setup page for the one you chose.

  • Dashboard: the Devices table now shows whether a device's Last Seen came from the XFA agent or from Discovery.
  • Dashboard: billing details and the change-address flow moved into a redesigned Subscription section, and adding a payment method now asks you to pick a plan first when none is active.
  • Dashboard: an account blocked for billing can still open Settings to download its invoices.
  • Dashboard: the Overview shows its shell and skeletons immediately for a faster first load, removing the blank white first paint.
  • Dashboard: the onboarding language switcher now uses the shared dropdown for a consistent look.
  • Integrations: you can now disconnect a Microsoft Teams connection from the Integrations page, the same as Slack.
  • Web app: the install and MFA screens have a refreshed layout and clearer copy.
  • Dashboard: the app now reloads itself once after a deploy instead of erroring on a stale page chunk.
  • Dashboard: the device-notify popup hides right away after you choose Don't show again.
  • Integrations: reconnecting Vanta no longer fails with a 500 error.

Visibility is everything when it comes to security. Our latest XFA Dashboard update makes it even easier to have an overview of devices connected to the business apps and a confirmation that your organization is secure.

This update brings a more detailed view of each device’s security health, a centralized overview of device checks that have been performed, and improved visibility across your team, designed to make device security simpler and your team’s productivity higher.

Agentless Sign-In

Agentless Sign-In

We're excited to introduce Agentless Sign-In, a new way to access your organization's resources without installing the XFA agent. This feature provides a faster, more flexible authentication experience while maintaining security compliance.

What is Agentless Sign-In?

Agentless Sign-In allows users to authenticate and verify device compliance without requiring the XFA agent to be installed. This is perfect for users who don't have installation rights, are using shared devices, or simply want the fastest path to access.

Getting Started

For detailed information about the agentless sign-in process, check out our user guide. For information on how to setup Agentless, check out our documentation.
