Crowdstrike could buy CB just for their customers, a few select engineers, then shut the whole thing down.

I think we all agree, that CB will most likely be spun off. It seems odd to merge it with Symantec products. Spinning off Symantec, so shortly after buying it, would be odd.

But who is likely to buy it? Cloud software group? Dell? IBM?

Why should they worry, haven’t they been focusing on the main thing?

Got word today that Carbon Black will be spun out, but not sure if it’ll be announced simultaneously with the acquisition closing or take until end of the year. Banks are fielding questions from buyers currently for CB, but don’t have anything finalized yet.

PE?

Private equity firm. Like Broadcom but without making any products of their own. Thoma Bravo is a big one in this field.

Obviously, if this is true it will not public knowledge, nor ever be, until announced to the company.
