The Sandboxie user base represents some of the most passionate, forward thinking, and knowledgeable members of the security community and we didn 't want to let you down.Īfter thoughtful consideration we decided that the best way to keep Sandboxie going was to give it back to its users - transitioning it to an open source tool. More importantly, we love the Sandboxie community too much to do that. However, we love the technology too much to see it fade away.
Sandboxie has never been a significant component of Sophos' business, and we have been exploring options for its future for a while.įrankly, the easiest and least costly decision for Sophos would have been to simply end of life Sandboxie. This new evolution of Sandboxie is one we are enthusiastic about, but that does not mean this was an easy decision to make.
Sophos is excited to announce that we are making Sandboxie a free tool, with plans to transition it to an open source tool.
