(InfoWorld) - McAfee plans to deliver more scalable versions of its e-mail and Web security appliances designed for enterprise users. The new products will be available by year's end, according to McAfee CTO Christopher Bolin, who discussed them Tuesday at McAfee's analyst conference in New York. "We've recently just OKed a project to build a very high-end enterprise product, a blade server approach to this problem," he said during a webcast of the event. McAfee already sells Web- and e-mail-filtering appliances called Secure Web Gateway and Secure Messaging Gateway, but these new products will be able to serve a much larger number of clients, McAfee said Wednesday, without disclosing specifics. McAfee CEO Dave DeWalt told analysts that the need for an enterprise-class offering was made clear to him in a recent customer meeting with Citigroup. "We didn't have the ability to cross-sell our network appliances very easily, at least not at the enterprise level," he said. The new products will ship into a marketplace that is in the throes of consolidation. DeWalt said that Web filtering vendorÂ Websense's recent purchase of SurfControlÂ also presented an opportunity for his company in the enterprise market. "It's going to take them seven plus months to bring those two companies together. We can completely disrupt that market," he said. The SurfControl acquisition is expected to close four months after final regulatory approval, which is still pending in the U.K. Another competitor in this space will be Cisco, which is on the verge of completing its $830 millionÂ acquisition of IronPort, a seller of Web- and e-mail-security appliances. McAfee is taking the opposite approach to its closest competitor Symantec, which last year shuttered most of its security appliance operation in order to focus on software development. Still, McAfee may find opportunities in this new sliver of the enterprise market, said Andrew Jaquith, an analyst with Yankee Group Research. "It's a good strategy to try and skim off some revenue that's being taken by others in this space," he said. "I don't see how it can hurt them."

(InfoWorld) - McAfee has released beta version of its next-generation Total Protection 2.0 consumer security software. The beta was posted to McAfee's Web site on Monday. It will be available for download until August 1, 2007, and beta testers will continue to receive signature files until September 1. Total Protection 2007 is McAfee's high-end consumer product, expected to be launched by the end of September this year. It includes network management and wireless protection capabilities that are not available in the company's flagship Internet Security Suite. McAfee customers looking for cool new features will be disappointed with the beta, however, as it appears to have few new capabilities. In fact, McAfee declined to discuss any new capabilities in Total Protection 2.0. "The main point is going to be performance," said a spokesman with the company's public relations agency. "Last year when we rolled out Total Protection there were a lot of complaints about the performance." "This year we're focused on streamlining the experience and making it a lot more consumer friendly."
