McAfee is now a core member of the LiMo Foundation that is an independent, not-for-profit entity that looks to increase the adoption of Linux within the mobile industry. The LiMo Foundation aims to leverage the mobile Linux platform to create an open ecosystem.

McAfee will use its mobile security expertise for the world's first global Linux-based software platform for mobile devices.

The security company will work closely with other 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 mobile user experience.

"LiMo Foundation is delighted to have McAfee as a core member," said Kiyohito Nagata, senior vice president at NTT DoCoMo and chairperson of the LiMo Foundation. "McAfee will provide tremendous value through its extensive experience in protecting mobile devices and help create a safe world-class mobile Linux platform."

"McAfee is excited to have the opportunity to work with the members of the LiMo Foundation to bring Linux into the mobile realm," said Victor Kouznetsov, senior vice president of Mobile Security at McAfee.

"Linux is a proven platform which is set to expand to wireless networks, mobile services and the delivery of multimedia content. McAfee will work with the members of the LiMo Foundation to ensure a safe mobile user experience to this fast-growing sector of the market."
