ARM Processor Support in True Protection

True Protection by Jag includes native support for ARM-based processors, ensuring optimal performance and full feature availability on modern ARM devices including Apple Silicon Macs, Windows on ARM laptops, and ARM-based Linux servers.

Supported ARM Platforms

  • Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4): Native ARM64 binary for macOS. Runs natively without Rosetta 2 translation for maximum performance.
  • Windows on ARM: Native ARM64 build for Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered Windows devices and Microsoft Surface Pro X.
  • Linux ARM64 (AArch64): Packages available for ARM64 servers running Ubuntu, Debian, and RHEL. Commonly used on AWS Graviton and Ampere Altra processors.
  • Raspberry Pi: Lightweight build available for Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 running 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS.

Performance on ARM

  • Scan Speed: ARM builds use NEON SIMD instructions for accelerated pattern matching, delivering scan speeds comparable to x86 systems.
  • Memory Usage: Optimized for ARM memory architecture with typical idle usage under 80 MB.
  • Battery Impact: The ARM build is tuned for power efficiency on laptops and mobile devices, with minimal battery impact during idle protection.

Verifying Your Architecture

To confirm you are running the native ARM build, open True Protection and navigate to Settings > About. The architecture field should show arm64 or aarch64. If it shows x86_64 on an ARM device, reinstall using the ARM-specific installer from tpjsecurity.com/downloads.
