For decades, the cybersecurity industry has been dominated by the x86 and x64 architectures. Most endpoint protection platforms (EPPs), including Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP), were engineered to run on Intel and AMD processors. However, the computing landscape is shifting dramatically. With the rise of energy-efficient, high-performance ARM64 (also known as AArch64) processors—championed by Apple’s M-series chips, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite, Amazon’s Graviton, and various IoT devices—security teams now face a critical question:
