Sophos Connect
Sophos Connect is a VPN client for macOS that provides secure remote network access via IPSec and SSL protocols. It is typically deployed by enterprises and organizations to allow employees and contractors to connect to corporate networks, and supports single sign-on (SSO) authentication integrated with directory services. The client manages VPN configurations, handles connection state, and provides network-level encryption for sensitive traffic.

1 suggestionSophos Connect does not yet have a native Apple Silicon build. As of May 2026, the macOS version still runs only under Rosetta 2 emulation, even though Sophos has shipped native ARM64 support for its Windows client. Community members have reported this limitation on the Sophos forums and raised the urgency given that Apple will remove Rosetta 2 support in macOS 28 (September 2028) — less than 3 years away. Sophos has acknowledged the gap and indicated work is underway on a macOS version, but no release date or public beta channel for a native macOS Apple Silicon build has been announced yet. Contact your Sophos account team or check the Sophos Connect release notes periodically for news of a native macOS build. In the interim, if your organization offers alternative VPN access methods (such as OpenVPN with certificate-based authentication rather than SSO), those may provide a workaround, but confirm compatibility with your company's security policies first. Given the approaching deadline, escalate this request with your IT department if you depend on Sophos Connect as your primary VPN client.
