Security technology company McAfee has officially become a core member of the LiMo Foundation, an independent, not-for-profit entity that strives to increase the adoption of Linux within the mobile industry.

Linux is a proven platform which is set to expand to wireless networks, mobile services and the delivery of multimedia content, said Victor Kouznetsov, McAfee’s senior vice president of Mobile Security.

McAfee will work closely with members of the LiMo Foundation, using its knowledge of mobile threats and its history of working with mobile carriers to ensure end-users have a safe, best-in-class mobile user experience, he added.

The company will implement its Mobile Security Risk Management approach in its coordinated efforts with the LiMo Foundation, which enables service providers to understand and mitigate security risks to their businesses, protect their customers and avoid the negative impact on their brands that can result from malicious attacks.
