"Personally, I think that it's QUITE likely that some big player... Microsoft or one of the Symantec/Norton/Mcaffee companies will at least make a pass at exobox... make an offer, or see if there's any interest in being bought... does anyone else see this as a liklihood?"
fsmith1952.. the big players you mentioned will definately make multiple passes in an attempt to buyout Exobox, as history has shown that Symantec, McAfee & TrendMicro have all purchased DLP companies. The funny part is that some of them have bought out more than 1 DLP company, to enhance their DLP technology.
ie. 1.) Symantec purchased Vontu for $350 million 2.) Trend Micro purchased Provilla 3.) McAfee purchased Onigma
