George Kurtz, chief technology officer worldwide, known for helping bring the McAfee product strategy, it will leave the company in late October. However, it is the first key staff leave the company: Vice President Dmitri Alperovitch, a researcher with the threat of prestige known for his work in McAfee that helped give the team a reputation for conducting cutting-edge research on piracy, has already slipped out the back door. Surprisingly, few realized their movement, as the media was not observed at all the case.

Rumors are that the two went because they were not happy with Intel's participation in China. The suit of insecurity is present in China, but Intel has a much larger production and market presence there.
