Sophos For Big Sur

Posted on  by



In June Apple presented macOS 11 (Big Sur) to the public for the first time. Since then, it is possible for developers to prepare for the new version. Unfortunately, for Sophos this time was not quite enough.

Today, November 12, 2020, the new OS is available for no charge to all users. However, if you are using the Sophos Central Endpoint Client, you should not install the update yet, as Sophos’s endpoint protection will not work after that. 🤯

Big Sur EAP requires membership for participation - click to join 10.0.3 Update - SophosScanD stopped Sam Shrefler 2 months ago Immediately after an autoupdate installed 10.0.3, SophosScanD is now no longer able to run. Sophos released a Big Sur-compatible version at the end of the first week of March, but it is still buggy. We are in contact with ETH IT Services to test this version. This article covers how to troubleshoot Sophos Home issues on macOS 11 - Big Sur. TROUBLESHOOTING Post installation (or upgrade) issues on Big Sur. Sophos Home requires 4 steps in order to run on Big Sur (macOS 11) 1 - Enabling System Extensions 2 - Allowing Notifications. 3 - Granting Full Disk Access to components 4 - Rebooting the Mac.

Sophos will soon be releasing a version that supports the new macOS through its Early Access Program (EAP). In December 2020 / January 2021 the final version should be released.

The Central Device Encryption version 1.5.3 already supports macOS 11, but since it is often installed with the endpoint protection, it is still necessary to wait.

Sophos and Apple Silicon

Also in June 2020 Apple talked about Apple Silicon for the first time. These are self-developed processors with the ARM architecture, which are already used in the iPhone or iPad, for example. These processors are now to be introduced in all Macs within the next 2 years. It was already known that the first hardware with the new chips will be available at the end of 2020.

Transition Kits were distributed in advance so that the developers could already test their software. On 10.11.2020 Apple already presented three new devices, which will arrive at the first customers at the end of November.

As Apple fanboys, we have of course also ordered a device.

Apple does not yet support ARM for Windows at this time. But we are working on it. I suspect that the ARM Macs will be supported sooner or later, but we don’t know anything about it at the moment.

Rosetta 2 (emulator)

Of course, depending on the software, 5 months is not enough time to rewrite the code for a new processor architecture. For this purpose, Apple has introduced Rosetta 2.

It is an emulator which is integrated in macOS Big Sur and enables ARM Macs to run Intel applications. Rosetta 2 essentially translates instructions written for Intel processors into instructions that Apple’s silicon chips understand. Developers do not have to make any changes to their old applications; they simply work.

We will certainly test for you whether this is true for Sophos products and whether the Central Endpoint Client can be easily emulated with Rosetta 2. 😇

WooCommerce B2B plugin comes with a powerful B2B registration solution that allows you to add new user registration fields, display user roles on the registration form and manually approve/disapprove new user registrations. Go to B2B “settings” and navigate to “B2B Registration Settings” to access B2B registration configurations. WooCommerce B2B is an extension developed to work with the default “customer” role of WooCommerce, probably the user you are trying to change group and/or status has another role. Why prices don’t update if I change group discount percentage or customer group assignment?
