Microsoft lures another McAfee security guru
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft has added another high-profile IT threat researcher to its growing security team, this time luring Jimmy Kuo, a research fellow at anti-virus software maker McAfee's AVERT Labs.
According to multiple sources within the anti-virus community, Kuo has resigned from his longtime position at the anti-virus software maker to take on a new job at Microsoft. Kuo, who has been working in McAfee's AVERT Labs since the outfit was started in 1995, will reportedly serve as an anti-virus "guru-at-large" at Microsoft, which is rapidly expanding its security software business.
