Will Sandboxie be included in the acquisition? There's no mention of it, but since Sandboxie now is an Invincea product, then Sandboxie might become part of Sophos.

A great move by Sophos. This plan will greatly fill the rift that separated Sophos from many others because of its weaker definitions and protection (Intercept X aside).
It will be a great package after another upgrade Sophos made this time.
Only that Invincea won't be available separately for commercial use. It looked fantastic.

surely the endpoint version of sandboxie (sandbox + BB) will be used into sophos endpoint products.

I do hope they keep the free version of Sandboxie

i think Sophos was more interested by the AI thingy of Invincea than sandboxie, at least it is what i understood.

Yes, they should! It's a great tool for non-Comodo users

Appears so. When they have an AI solution to deliver to the corporates, they shouldn't be bragging about their sandboxie thing as a complementary feature

I use SB to virtualize the browsing session, of course SB is still free going from Tzuk to Invincea then I guess things will not change.

Sophos first HitmanPro and now Invincea
great

but i don't like they behavior with their Home customers, in fact they have not any support for their Home users, only business.

And indeed Sophos Home is not so impressive..

At least now they've implemented Sophos Home Account Deletion.

I agree and that's why their acquisitions lately seem to be very smart from a "improving on your weaknesses" perspective.

Most likely there aim was the AI and isolation provided by Invincea...

Such a leap really? MT guys should be ahead in this aspect
Btw, how do you have Sophos stocks listed in your country? Are you currently not staying in Vietnam?
