Apple has released a new security mechanism called Secure Kernel Extension Loading (SKEL) in MacOS 10.13. This affects all applications/software using non-Apple kernel extensions and users are required to manually add the affected applications/software into the trusted list before the applications/software can be used. This allows the kernel extensions to load and is required for Sophos Anti-Virus to function properly. Users of MacOS 10.13 are required to do the following steps for newly installed Sophos Anti-Virus:
1. After installing Sophos Anti-virus, go to “Security & Privacy” under Apple System Preferences.
2. At the bottom of the window, you will see “System software from developer “Sophos” was blocked from loading”. Click “Allow”.
Once authorized, all future Sophos kernel extensions are allowed, even after uninstallation. This step is not required again on a reinstallation. Kernel extensions already installed during an upgrade from MacOS 10.12 are automatically authorized.
