FAQ

Do I need separate antivirus and firewall software on macOS?

No, you do not need separate antivirus or firewall software on macOS. On both macOS and Windows, the built-in antivirus and firewall are sufficient — nowadays they already provide a very good level of security, and on Mac this has always been the case. Normally these are enabled by default, but they can be turned off by the user. If that happens, XFA will flag it.

How frequently does the XFA agent run checks?

The XFA agent runs checks and reports the status approximately every 6 hours. The exact timing varies slightly to prevent active hours from being determined based on activity. Whenever XFA is opened on the device, a check will also be performed to ensure the data is recent. In that case, the results are also reported so that the administrator has the latest status as well.
