Malwarebytes Adds Support for ARM-Based Chips

0
Malwarebytes announced comprehensive support for ARM-based architecture across its ThreatDown endpoint security suite. Designed specifically for corporate use, ThreatDown solutions deliver powerful threat protection while equipping IT teams with user-friendly, effective tools. This update enhances security, performance, and efficiency for users on Windows ARM devices like Copilot+ PCs, including models such as the Microsoft Surface Pro, Lenovo Yoga Slim and ThinkPad, and Dell Inspiron, among others.

ARM-based PC shipments are forecasted to have 25% market share by 2027, yet not all software supports these cutting-edge devices. ThreatDown solutions will help organizations stay ahead of the threat landscape and offer protection for all ARM-powered devices.

“As ARM architecture continues to gain traction across a broad range of devices—from personal computers to cloud servers—ensuring robust security measures for these systems is crucial,” said Bob Shaker, VP Cybersecurity Product and Services, Malwarebytes. “While there may be no known exploits or zero-days against ARM architecture today, we’re ready for the threats that will come tomorrow. Our customers will have the peace of mind to secure their next generation of hardware from the ever-evolving threat landscape.”

“Artificial intelligence is the future, and that AI future will soon run not only in the cloud but also on endpoint devices,” said Frank Dickson, Group Vice President, Security & Trust, IDC. “AI processors will leverage both ARM and x86 instruction sets, and the resulting AI devices will require sophisticated protection regardless of the architecture.”

Growth Opportunity for the Channel

This support allows ThreatDown solution customers and partners to fully leverage the improved power and battery life of Windows ARM devices while maintaining robust cybersecurity defenses.

“As ARM-powered devices gain in popularity, the channel will be able to grow the account size of each of their customers to protect more devices with endpoint security meaning more revenue, more profits, and more options for security support,” said Brian Thomas, SVP of Global Channels, Malwarebytes. “Support for ARM devices is a win for partners and a win for their customers.”
