Sophos Linux Sensor Linux distribution and kernel support

You can find the current list of supported platforms in the System requirements section of the Release notes.

Notes

  • SLS supports both x86_64 and ARM64 architectures.

    • We support ARM64 on platforms with kernel versions 5.3 or later. This is due to lack of support for user-space access monitors in kernel probes (kprobes) before the 5.3 release. This affects some ARM System-on-Chip (SoC) devices.

  • We support the latest kernels for operating systems while they're within the vendor's support cycle.

  • We reserve the right to drop support for kernels as the vendor retires support for them.
  • We also reserve the right to block known-broken kernels that prevent SLS from functioning.
