When will there be an Agent for FireFox and Microsoft IE and Edge deployable from Smart Endpoint.  The SandBlast agent deploys to Chrome once Chrome is opened.  Not all my user use Chrome.

[PhoneBoy]

IE and Firefox are already supported and deployable via GPO, SCCM, or similar.

hi, cant find the download link as you stated up ahead, can you please redirect to a working link location?

a friend sent it to me, i don't know why a normal google search doesn't bring it up

[PhoneBoy]

It's not listed in the location I specified above because the clients are out of EA and are now formally released.

In fact, there's even a newer version of these clients available.
