Version 9.10.2
Just upgraded to Mac OS Big Sur last night and Sophos Home (Premium) seems to be having issues. Specifically, the Sophos Home icon remains red with a message that Security & Private settings need to be updated. I've looked at the instructions here on the Sophos website, but nothing addresses this issue. Big Sur no longer supports certain print drivers. Download the latest version from the software grid to bypass this issue. SAPgui: SAPgui may not authenticate properly using Ticket Viewer. Visit our Knowledge Base for a workaround. Sophos Antivirus: Sophos 9.10.2 and higher support macOS Big Sur. Download the latest version from the Software Grid.
