SophosAgent is the core security agent for Sophos endpoint protection on macOS, part of Sophos Central and Sophos Endpoint Protection enterprise suites. It provides real-time antivirus and anti-malware scanning, behaviour-based threat detection, sandboxing, web filtering, application whitelisting, and centralized security management and reporting from a cloud console. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community, indicating that Sophos has released native support for M-series Macs.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSophos has released a native Apple Silicon build of SophosAgent. Users still running the Intel version under Rosetta 2 should update to get the native build, which will run more efficiently on M-series Macs and continue to receive support after Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). The exact update path depends on your deployment method: if your Mac is enrolled in Sophos Central, the native build may be pushed automatically as a policy update — check your Sophos Central console for any pending agent updates or force a refresh of agent policies through the Central dashboard. If you manage the agent manually, visit the Sophos download portal or contact your Sophos account manager for the latest native build installer. Sophos also provides a security-software removal and reinstall process if a manual clean install is needed to ensure the native version replaces the Intel one completely. Check with your IT department or Sophos support if you are uncertain about the update procedure for your organisation's deployment.
