Again, big changes coming with macOS Big Sur – be careful for now
macOS Big Sur is about to release to the public and as we have highlighted across several of our blog posts in the last few months, this brings large scale changes.
If you are running any of the following on your macOS device;
- Antivirus or Antimalware software
- Encryption Management software (File Vault Management)
- Virtualization Applications
- Dual Booting / Boot Camp
- Containerized Applications
The we strongly recommend you hold off updating when the update is released, this follows several press statements from major software vendors like this one from Sophos. In which they detail the challenges of the short time frame and moving to Apples new API approach.
If you have any concerns of about your business software or upgrading we recommend that you speak to your Planet IT account manager who will be able to assist you with compatibility guides and information from the vendors specific to your business. If you’re not already a Planet IT client, then feel free to reach out to me directly on [email protected]
The landscape and support for macOS Big Sur WILL improve. We do not expect this to happen in the next few weeks but do expect most vendors to have support by the end of 2020.

This might sound controversial, but resist that big MacOS update, for now!
