Sophos Endpoint definition update query

Question

Hello, 
 We have an issue where our 3rd party monitoring tool is looking at the following folder for definition updates: 
 C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus 
 From what I can see any agent that has the core update agent on version 2.20.13 does not have the above folder present in the system. 
 Agent on version 2.20.11 have the folder present. 
 Can anyone provide a reason for this, or explain where the folder has gone so our monitoring tool can be updated? 
 Thank you 
 Dan

Hi Dan, 
 Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 
 You can find details on recent product architecture changes in the following article. - Sophos Intercept X for Windows: Product architecture changes 
 The "Sophos File Scanner" is now the main scanning process that will run on your device. Virus definitions are no longer used for on-access scanning, as the antivirus engine is now using primarily an ML decision-making process. 
 You can still find some ide files within the numbered directories at the following path, though these are not relied on as heavily. - C:\Program Files\Sophos\Sophos Standalone Engine\engine1\data\
