The ARM64 agent delivers most core security features natively to ensure there is no performance penalty for emulation:

While most features are supported, the following are currently for ARM64 endpoints: Custom Application Behavior Threat Defense for AD Web and Cloud Access Protection Exploit Protection Legacy Browser Protection (Internet Explorer/Firefox-based) Application Control Installation & Availability

Log into your cloud console, navigate to , and select Installation Package . 2. Select Architecture

For organizations that have not yet migrated to SEP 16.0, compatibility varies:

As enterprise computing shifts toward power-efficient architectures, has evolved to provide native support for ARM64 platforms. This support is crucial for modern high-performance, low-power devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (5G) and macOS systems powered by Apple Silicon. Current Support Status for ARM64

: No support currently exists for endpoints managed by an on-premises Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM) . Current Known Limitations for ARM64

: Active access token for the Symantec cloud-management workspace. 2. Package Extraction and Enrollment

Recent release notes highlight specific behavior on ARM platforms:

Here’s a concise write-up based on your search query — likely referring to ARM64 native support , hotfixes , or performance issues .

Broadcom KB Article 273805 explicitly states: "ARM support is only for unmanaged (self-managed) or cloud-managed clients at this time. There is no support for managed endpoints for on-premises Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager."

: Basic behavioral monitoring to catch zero-day threats before they execute.

For organizations using the Symantec Endpoint Security (SES) cloud console (SES Cloud or ICDm):

, moving corporate endpoint protection away from sluggish software emulation . As enterprises transition to high-efficiency hardware like Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite laptops, AWS Graviton servers, and Microsoft Surface ARM devices, deploying a security architecture optimized for these processors is essential.

: Even with minor policy limitations, the core engines safeguard devices against credential theft, unverified software executions, and zero-day memory anomalies.
