Symantec Endpoint Protection for Mac OS Big Sur: Update on Release Date

The wait is almost over for the release of Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) 14.3 RU1, which will support Mac OS Big Sur (11.x). According to recent announcements, we can expect the SEP 14.3 RU1 for SES to be released before mid-February.

As a user with a small fleet of Macs that require anti-virus protection, you're likely eager to get started. Unfortunately, it seems that we will have to wait until at least two more weeks after the initial release date. However, this delay is necessary to ensure that the product meets quality assurance standards and does not trigger issues when installed on remote employees' devices.

Once the new version is released, you will receive a pop-up notification in the SES Portal when logging in. The current release notes documentation still lists macOS Big Sur 11.x as supported with the current version, but it's essential to note that this information may be outdated.

In addition to the SEP 14.3 RU1 update, we are also awaiting news on the SEPM 14.3- RU1 agent for Symantec Endpoint Security (SES Cloud) that supports macOS Big Sur 11.x. It has been 78 days since macOS Big Sur was released, and many users are eagerly anticipating this update.

For those who have submitted tickets regarding the issue, such as Case 32504165, an update on the release date is forthcoming. Unfortunately, we do not have a specific date yet, but it's expected to be available by the end of this month.

In summary, while there may be some delays in the release of Symantec Endpoint Protection for Mac OS Big Sur, rest assured that quality assurance standards are being met to ensure a smooth and secure installation process. We will keep you updated on any further developments and look forward to providing your fleet with reliable anti-virus protection soon.
