This week's [Weekly Steam update] mentions that VAC2 (Valve Anti Cheat) will under go a testing period slated to begin next week. Here is a snip of the weekly update:

Next week we'll begin beta testing the new Valve Anti-Cheat system. For people playing multiplayer games, there will not be any visible difference while we're conducting the beta, but we will be logging cheating violations into our database to make sure it's ready for general release. This will be the last public notice before the system is released and active for everyone.

Valve also notes if you have cheats installed, now is the time to remove them. Hopefully this only applies to a small number of people.. Those that think they can keep the cheats installed and not get detected can leave them installed. Don't come crying to prove your innocence because you've been warned! More information can be found on Steam Powered.
