Security firm McAfee has put out a request for beta testers to trial the latest version of its Secure Content Management Appliances application. The suite includes three products: Secure Messaging Gateway, providing secure content management for SMTP and POP3; Secure Web Gateway for secure content management for HTTP, ICAP and FTP; and the Secure Internet Gateway, combining the above two products to provide secure content management for both web and messaging protocols.

Participants would need the appliance that sits at the gateway in order to participate, although this is pretty common in IT environments, McAfee said. Compatible units have been listed on the application's beta site. As a prize for the best feedback, the SCM engineering team will be giving away iPods to three testers. The initial release of the beta is already out, with a refresh due later in the month and release candidate expected in May.
