Chicago – December 2, 2010 – Open Kernel Labs (OK Labs), the leading provider of embedded virtualization software for mobile phones and broadband Internet devices, today announced its membership in the McAfee Connected partner program and participation in the McAfee MOVE Ecosystem (Management for Optimized Virtualized Environments).

Key Facts

• As mobile workers shift to running enterprise applications and accessing business-critical data on smartphones, their devices become targets for exploits ranging from malware to denial-of-service attacks on wireless networks and corporate data centers
• OK Labs is partnering with McAfee to enhance enterprise mobile security by ensuring compatibility between McAfee software and OK Labs mobile virtualization solutions, in particular SecureIT Mobile 

"The McAfee Connected partner program benefits mobile OEMs, operators and end users by ensuring interoperability between best-in-class endpoint security software and OK Labs industry-leading mobile virtualization platform," said Steve Subar, OK Labs Founder and CEO. “Proven and ubiquitous anti-virus and virtualization technologies will help enterprises deploy and manage software critical to an increasingly mobile workforce."
