As a result it cannot be deployed using Apple Remote Desktop, Casper, Munki, or any other Mac management tool. Unfortunately Sophos have made this installer an application and not an installer package. It is even possible to pre-configure the auto-update account details for this. If you have no Windows Server, and can no longer use SUM, this leaves two more possibilities, first you could use the standalone SAV9 installer. It is therefore urgent to move all Macs to SAV9 by April 2014. SAV8 is being discontinued in April 2014 and does not officially support Mavericks. Unfortunately SUM only supports SAV8 and does not support SAV9. Previously Mac only organisations could use Sophos Update Manager to do much the same on a Mac server. Multi-platform organisations are likely to have a Windows server (or more than one) and can therefore run Sophos Enterprise Console to create and manage a Mac installer for Sophos Anti-Virus. Sophos have gone from being one of the best Mac enterprise anti-virus solutions to (perhaps) the worst.
