Talk:Sophos

message: Utimaco was only temporarily owned by Sophos (share majority from 2009, full ownership via squeeze-out 2012, sold 2013 to a venture capital firm - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utimaco) and has only a minor mention here. It seems inappropriate to me to redirect "Utimaco" to this article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utimaco_Atalla links to "Utimaco" as its parent company, who acquired them in 2018, when Sophos had been out for five years. Linking Sophos (via redirect) as owner of Utimaco Atalla is therefore misleading as it was never the case.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.15.45.39 (talk) 11:40, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Hi, my name is Lesley and I work for Sophos. I recently learned that Wikipedia's editing records infer one or more people with a financial connection to Sophos have inappropriately and anonymously edited the page. I apologize for that. Although I can't figure out who's doing it, I am working to make sure everyone in marketing knows not to do that.
I think these past improper edits made three problems: 
# A lot of editorialized content like "pioneering start-up with a powerful"
# The inclusion of routine executive appointments
# An excessive focus on products in the introduction
In the spirit of WP:COIU#5 and Wikipedia's conflict of interest rules, I'd like to share these proposed trims that I think would address these issues. LesleySullivan (talk) 17:17, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Conflict of interest request 

message: I'd like to request a few more corrections, updates, and trims as follows:
* First Sentence: "Sophos Group plc": "Group PLC" is no longer accurate, ever since the company became private in 2020.
* History Section: Second and Third Paragraphs: "<S>In 2006, Peter Gyenes and Steve Munford were was named chairman and CEO of Sophos, respectively.
" ... "In 2012, Kris Hagerman, formerly CEO at Corel Corporation, was named CEO of Sophos and joined the company's board. Former CEO Steve Munford became the non-executive chairman of the board." Cited to a broken link to a Sophos.com URL. Could not find better citations.
* Infobox: Key People: "<S>Peter Gyenes (chairman)</S>". Sophos no longer has a chairman as a private company.
* Infobox: Revenue: $1+ billion As a private company, more recent, detailed financials are not available, but we do have a source to update revenues to something more recent. with new reference.
Pinging  who was gracious enough to respond to my prior request. LesleySullivan (talk) 13:21, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
