Growth of ARM processors in Windows Ecosystem

[antony.lamsdell]

With the continual growth and development of ARM in the windows sector there is a clear demand for a Cortex XDR Agent for Windows on ARM. This also impacts virtualisation on Macs and other devices with ARM processors.

Is there an roadmap for consideration for this moving forwards?

Hello @antony.lamsdell ,

Thanks for reaching out on LiveCommunity.

As of now we support ARM for few linux builds like AWS Graviton etc. We may cover other builds and operating systems in future. Unfortunately we do not have a timeline as of now.

Ashutosh of Palo Alto said Cortex XDR support for Windows ARM is under development with a beta version expected in summer 2024 (12 Jun, 2024), do you have any update on it?

Hello @curtisszeto @antony.lamsdell ,

We've already developed an XDR agent for Windows on ARM. It is currently in beta for selected customers and once the beta is successfully completed, we will start to let all other customers use the agent as well.

It's important to mention that we aim for a quick release but we don't have a concrete timeline yet, as we need to understand that it would provide the value that users are expecting.

If this post answers your question, please mark it as the solution.

Thanks for the update and it is good to know that XDR agent for Windows on ARM is current in beta, I hope it would be released soon, until then, may I suggest to keep this thread open so that we could get further update from you.

Regards
