Sophos Linux Sensor Distribution and Kernel Support

Use the following requirements and compatibility information to confirm that your Linux distribution, architecture, and kernel version are supported before deploying Sophos Linux Sensor.

System Requirements

Sophos Linux Sensor
Requirement	Minimum
Free disk space	2 GB
RAM	2 GB
System type	x86_64 and ARM64

Supported Kernels

For a full list of supported platforms, legacy platforms, and support for platforms unlisted above, see the Sophos release notes for Sophos Linux Sensor.

Note

Sophos Linux Sensor supports both x86_64 and ARM64 architectures. We support ARM64 on platforms with kernel versions 5.3 or later. This is due to a 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.
