I am currently running the beta version of macOS Sequoia on my MacBook Pro. Are there any approved or recommended antivirus softwares I can install on this MacBook? I would greatly appreciate if anyone could point me towards some resources for this.

Thanks!

Approved or recommended by who?

If you’re looking for this from Apple, I’m not aware of any published guidelines in that space, even for released versions of macOS.

After last fiasco in Windows world (CrowdStrike) I would say that adding anything "Anti virus" is just adding another vector of attack to your system.

Install apps from trusted sources only and you should be fine.
