Native support for Windows 11 ARM64 devices was introduced by Broadcom starting with Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.3 RU7 . However, enterprise administrators must navigate critical architectural limitations—most notably, the complete lack of support for traditional on-premises management via Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM). While support is improving, there are potential bottlenecks:
While support is improving, there are potential bottlenecks:
Broadcom has not forgotten the server and workstation space. For enterprise environments, Broadcom provides a dedicated installer for , which supports the aarch64 (ARM64) architecture.
