After doing some research and reading a very helpful thread on JAMF Nation, it looks like it is possible to repackage Sophos 9.x for deployment. This switch away from using installer packages was a problem for Mac admins who wanted to deploy Sophos 9.x, but did not have Sophos’ enterprise console. This extended to the point of naming the actual application as Installer, which is the same name as Apple’s Installer. For their customers using Sophos Enterprise Console, Sophos will still provide a installer metapackage, but all other customers now need to use the application to install Sophos Anti-Virus 9.x on Macs.Ĭuriously, Sophos went to some lengths to make their install application look like a standard installer package. With the release of Sophos Anti-Virus 9.x though, Sophos changed how their antivirus solution for Macs was installed by switching to using an application to install it. For the past few major releases, Sophos used a standard installer package to install both their free and paid antivirus solution.
