Sophos acquired Sandboxie when it bought cyber-security firm Invincea in February 2017. Until the open source transition is completed, Sophos have decided to make all restricted features of Sandboxie completely free.

“After 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,” Geftic added. More importantly, we love the Sandboxie community too much to do that,” he said.

However, we love the technology too much to see it fade away. “Frankly, the easiest and least costly decision for Sophos would have been to simply end of life Sandboxie. “Sandboxie has never been a significant component of Sophos’ business, and we have been exploring options for its future for a while,” said Seth Geftic, Director of Product Marketing at Sophos. Why transition it to an open source tool? The latest version, Sandboxie 5.31.4, which was released on Tuesday is the first version of Sandboxie that is available as freeware.
