AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe Sophos Connect VPN daemon is a helper component of Sophos Endpoint Protection or Sophos Connect and cannot be updated on its own. To ensure this component has a native Apple Silicon build, you must update the parent Sophos application through Sophos's own update mechanism. Open Sophos Endpoint Protection or Sophos Connect, navigate to Help or Settings and look for Check for Updates, or use Sophos AutoUpdate if it is configured on your Mac. If your copy of Sophos is still running under Rosetta 2 (the Intel-compatibility layer), updating to the latest native build of the parent product will update this daemon component alongside it. Check with your IT department or Sophos directly to confirm that your organization's endpoint security deployment includes a native Apple Silicon build, as enterprise deployments may lag behind publicly available releases. Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028, so ensuring your Sophos installation is native and current well before that deadline is important for security continuity.
