XFA
TLDR
XFA is an Antwerp-based privacy-respecting Zero Trust alternative to traditional MDM, securing unmanaged, personal, and freelancer devices.
Overview
XFA targets a gap in the device security market, the unmanaged personal and freelancer devices that fall outside traditional Mobile Device Management deployments. The product enforces device security posture through a Zero Trust approach without requiring the invasive controls that classic MDM agents apply to personal hardware.
The privacy-first positioning makes XFA relevant for organisations with contractors, BYOD policies, or hybrid workforces where employees resist or legally cannot accept full device management. It sits in the Cybersecurity segment focused on identity and device trust as the security perimeter.
