    The last ETA I heard was Q2 2021.

    Hi John,

    Was that some sort of Typo? Q2 2021? if not a typo, that is completely unacceptable. Can you confirm with Development? Or should I open up an incident myself?

    Hi,

    Note that M1 is not an x86 based architecture and the software need to be rewritten from the ground up to support the ARM architecture. I believe the roadmap shown at the Virtual User Group for Endpoint Protection a couple of months ago stated ARM support Q1 2021. This can of course be subject to delays for a magnitude of reasons. To be clear, i'm not a Broadcom employee and this is my personal opinion.

    Isn't it a bit to early for enterprises to adopt a whole new architecture? It's kind of a big thing when you're switching from one architecture to another.

    Hi Tom,

    Support for the M1 chip will not be added in 14.3 RU1.  It will be in a future release.  The eta is the last I heard.  If more information is needed I would open a case with this request.

    Thanks,
    John

    Tom, we wanted to get Big Sur support out of the way before embarking on M1 processor support which customer is evaluating. I'm hoping to get an early preview in Q1.

    I'm looking at May/Jun timeframe. Some had success with 14.3 RU1 on Big Sur/M1 via Rosetta 2, however it's not officially supported.

    I just wanted to double-check.  So M1 for May/June hopefully, but is Big Sur (not on M1) supported currently?  Thanks!

    Hi can you please give us an update on the M1 support?

    Been dealing with this new issue - after so many issues with the Big Sur problem, and then many Apple customers thinking that they could fix all their issues by simply buying a new Apple (with M1) now have a whole new one

    Any current status, and expectation of a fix please?

    Thanks in advance!

    When will all new versions of OS X be supported? We don't need three separate versions of SEP when M1 is released to cause even more confustion and errors. I understand that Apple is creating this mess but Symantec/Broadcom should find a solution or start complaining to Appe regarding being out of touch with reality. If we want security on our Macs, we will buy it.

    Will the SEP client 14.3 RU2 for MAC INTEL/M1 CPU be released for the SES cloud console at the same time as the On-Premises version?

    The Mac 14.3 RU2 agent is now GA for SEPM. It'll be downloaded via LiveUpdate by SEPM 14.3 RU2. It adds native support for Apple M1.

    ICDm (cloud) will get it on July 7.
