Want to learn more about "OSS Firewalls." One of the best papers I have read recently comes from Neil MacDonald and Ian Head at Gartner, entitled " [How to Seamlessly Integrate Security into DevOps](/content/resources?type=whitepapers/index.html)." It's worth a read and discusses this topic more in depth.
