AI Recommendation
1 suggestionSophosGenericsCore is a framework component bundled inside Sophos endpoint protection software, not a standalone application — it is automatically updated whenever Sophos itself is updated. To ensure you are running the native Apple Silicon build of Sophos (which includes this framework), open your Sophos Mac endpoint client, check for updates through its built-in update mechanism, and allow any pending updates to complete. The Sophos application manager will handle pulling the current native build to your Mac. If you prefer to update through the Sophos website, visit their support or downloads portal for the latest Sophos Mac endpoint installer and run it on your Mac; this will also upgrade all embedded components including SophosGenericsCore to their native builds. Once updated, both Sophos and its embedded frameworks will run natively on your Apple Silicon Mac, delivering improved performance and lower system overhead compared to the Intel version running under Rosetta.
