Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Mac required version is 101.40.84 (or later).

Native M1 support applies to macOS version 11 (Big Sur) and upcoming major macOS versions.

What are the prerequisites for receiving native M1 support? The Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Mac agent will function on M1-based devices in the same way it functions on Intel-based Mac devices. If the Rosetta 2 is no longer needed on a device, it is the responsibility of a user or an organization to remove it.Īfter successfully deploying and activating the latest update, the on-device experience will remain unchanged. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint does not explicitly take any action on the Rosetta 2. With the native M1 support, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Mac no longer requires the Rosetta 2 emulator to function on M1-based Big Sur devices. The update will deliver our latest unified package that is designed to seamlessly work on M1-based and Intel-based Mac devices. Will the native M1 support bring any visible changes? The newest version of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Mac will be delivered to all Mac devices via the existing Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) channel. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint version 101.40.84 (or later) will natively support Apple ARM silicon. How will the native M1 support be delivered?

We are thrilled to announce that Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Mac now natively supports Apple’s M1 chip-based devices!
