What Is Linux MDM?

Linux MDM, or Linux Mobile Device Management, is a platform that enables IT teams to centrally manage Linux desktops, laptops, and workstations. It provides essential capabilities such as device enrollment, policy enforcement, encryption monitoring, remote support, and software deployment. By using Linux MDM, organizations replace manual scripts and fragmented tools with a unified system that strengthens security, control, and scalability across Linux environments.

Swif.ai delivers Linux MDM with full distribution support, built-in LUKS encryption visibility, integrated Remote Desktop, and Live Terminal for secure real-time troubleshooting. It also automates compliance with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA through integrations with Vanta, Drata, Thoropass, Sprinto, and Delve. These advanced capabilities make Swif.ai trusted by Tech Startups, FinTech, HealthTech, MSSPs, MSPs, vCISOs, AI research labs, and global enterprises that need scalable and secure Linux device management.

Big shoutout to the team at Swif.ai!
We sent in a feature request for
Northslope Technologies, expecting the usual "we’ll pass this along" response. Instead, the CEO personally followed up within two days to let us know it was being prioritized and rolled out.

MDM and compliance aren’t usually the corners of tech where you expect speed or responsiveness — so this was a standout moment. Great product, even better team! Thanks
Angelo Huang!

Max Wenneker

Operations and Scale at Northslope

“Swif.ai’s strengths are its focus on the device’s full lifecycle, its broader support for Windows and Mac devices, and its elimination of old-school management tools and techniques.”

Jonathan Linczak

Director of Product Management

I tell our team the reason I like partnering with Swif.ai is you’re super-nimble and scrappy like us; You get customers and hear our feedback and quickly work to make the product more aligned to what today’s, not yesterday’s, clients need!

Dominique Singer

VP of Cyber & Advanced Services at Eden Data

We wholeheartedly believe in Swif.ai as a solution. So much so, we are an ongoing, paid customer.  Swif.ai on the surface looks like a MDM solution, but helps to navigate complex HR and Legal compliance challenges related to device management.  It just makes sense.
