Symantec Endpoint Protection Arm64 Work !!top!! Page

Native ARM64 performance (macOS, Linux) is nearly identical to x64. Emulated Windows performance is poor for I/O-heavy tasks. Do not deploy SEP on Windows ARM64 for development work, databases, or file servers.

Use the sysinfo command on your ARM64 device and cross-reference the build number with Broadcom’s official "SEP Client Compatibility Matrix" (updated quarterly). Do not assume later builds automatically support ARM64—always check the release notes for the phrase "Windows 11 ARM64." Native ARM64 performance (macOS, Linux) is nearly identical
