Broadcom has pivoted its focus toward —the cloud-managed successor to traditional SEP—to provide native support for ARM64.
Unlike Windows ARM, the Mac agent can be managed by on-premises SEPM or the cloud console. Linux ARM64 Support
The transition to ARM64 architecture—driven primarily by Apple’s Silicon (M1/M2/M3 series) and the emerging market of Windows on ARM devices—posed a significant challenge for legacy security vendors. Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP), now under Broadcom, has had to evolve from a purely x86-reliant architecture to a hybrid model to support these platforms. symantec endpoint protection arm64 work
For now, organizations should plan for a mixed environment where ARM64 devices are managed via the SES cloud console, while traditional x86/x64 endpoints can continue using on‑premises SEPM if desired.
Broadcom introduced dedicated installer packages for the ARM64 platform to ensure that the core security drivers execute natively without relying on performance-draining emulation layers. Broadcom has pivoted its focus toward —the cloud-managed

Symantec supports Windows 11 on ARM64 processors (such as the Snapdragon X Elite) with specific version and management constraints.
