![]() ![]() Apps that rely upon Rosetta 2 emulation would no longer work on macOS 11.3 in certain regions. Naturally, this is unwelcome news for global enterprises. Secondly, according to recent reporting based upon inspection of macOS 11.3 code, the future of Rosetta 2 support is very much in question, as the code suggests Apple may stop support for it in certain countries. This is an important customer consideration for a couple of reasons.įirst, there is performance: all things being equal, natively-developed applications simply perform better. ![]() Unlike alternative endpoint security solutions, our Sentinel agent does not rely upon Rosetta 2 emulation at all. Apple released the Rosetta 2 emulation layer as a stop-gap measure, to allow developers time to port their apps to M1 and to enable customers to use their apps during the transition period from x86 to M1. The Rosetta 2 translater lets apps developed on the x86 architecture run on the M1 architecture. “Native” means that our Sentinel agent has been ported, validated, and compiled on the M1 architecture and does not run under the Rosetta 2 emulation layer. Let’s begin by clarifying what native M1 support means. So, what does this mean for endpoint security customers? Apple has already begun shipping product with the M1 in volume and, for reasons related to cost and user experience, are keen to accelerate and complete that transition fully. ![]() Recently, Apple made the strategic decision to switch its Mac design architecture from an Intel x86 over to its own Apple M1, an 8-core CPU built upon the ARM architecture. SentinelOne is pleased to announce the early availability (EA) of our Sentinel agent v5.0, the first endpoint security agent with native support for the Apple M1 CPU. ![]()
