XFA vs Duo Security
Comparing MFA-based user authentication with device security posture verification at login
What is XFA?
XFA is the device security solution that knows about every device used for work, informs users about security risks, and verifies compliance with security policies at login — all without invasive control or centralized device management. XFA is built for modern organizations that support BYOD, contractors, and distributed teams, and need device trust without owning or managing devices.
What is Duo Security?
Duo Security is a multi-factor authentication (MFA) platform that verifies user identity using additional authentication factors such as push notifications, hardware tokens, or biometrics. Duo answers the question: Who is logging in?
Why choose XFA over Duo Security?
XFA provides deeper device security posture
Duo's Device Trust evaluates basic device signals such as operating system version, screen lock status, and encryption to inform access decisions. XFA builds on this concept by providing broader and more flexible device security posture verification, including visibility into device risk, configuration gaps, and known vulnerabilities at login. This allows organizations to make more granular, risk-based access decisions without relying solely on baseline compliance checks.
XFA is designed for diverse teams with freelancer devices and BYOD
While Duo Security can be used with unmanaged devices, Duo is primarily designed as an identity and MFA platform. XFA is purpose-built for environments where personal, external, or unmanaged devices are common. XFA does not assume device ownership, enrollment, or long-term management, making it a stronger fit for contractors, freelancers, and distributed teams.
XFA enables more flexible, risk-based device policies
XFA dynamically adapts device security requirements based on device context, risk level, and the sensitivity of accessed resources. This allows teams to apply different policies for different scenarios rather than relying on a single baseline. This flexibility is especially valuable in Zero Trust environments with diverse device types and access patterns.
XFA notifies users and guides remediation before enforcement
XFA proactively informs users when their device does not meet security requirements and provides clear guidance on how to resolve issues. Users are given time to make changes before access is restricted. Duo device trust is typically enforced directly during authentication, which can result in immediate access denial without the same level of advance user notification or remediation guidance.
