Objective The primary objective of the Beta-Announce list is to provide the SecurityFocus community access to upcoming security tool and product beta trials. In the same vein it will provide access to tool authors and vendors to announce their beta programs and get valuable feedback from the community which will ultimately use and in some cases, buy, their offerings. Background There are an overwhelming number of security tools and products available today. Many, if not most, have limited beta trials because of lack of access to an informed, qualified community. By providing a list such as this we hope to help authors provide stronger offerings to the community and we hope to allow the community an opportunity to stay abreast of the most recent security technologies. http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/141/description -- David Mirza Ahmad Symantec PGP: 0x26005712 8D 9A B1 33 82 3D B3 D0 40 EB AB F0 1E 67 C6 1A 26 00 57 12
