Sophos is a security software suite from Sophos Ltd. that provides endpoint protection, including antivirus, anti-malware, ransomware protection, firewall and network monitoring capabilities for macOS. The product comes with a system daemon (launchDaemon) component that runs continuously in the background to monitor and protect the system. The sophos-cbr helper is a core part of Sophos's real-time scanning and threat detection engine. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe Sophos security daemon has a native Apple Silicon build confirmed in use on real Macs. Since this is a launchDaemon component, it is not updated independently — it is part of the main Sophos application and is updated when you update Sophos itself. To get the native version, open the Sophos application on your Mac, check for updates through its built-in update mechanism (typically in the menu bar Sophos icon or under Preferences/Settings), and install the latest available version. Sophos will automatically replace the Intel launchDaemon with its native counterpart during the update. If you installed Sophos via the vendor's website, ensure you are running the latest build from Sophos's own installer rather than relying on an older copy.
