"A secure Web gateway (SWG) is a product that filters unwanted software or malware from endpoint Web/Internet traffic and enforces corporate and regulatory policy compliance. SWGs generally protect employees while they surf the Internet; they do not protect Web applications, which is the role of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) virtual private networks (VPNs) or application firewalls. To achieve this goal, SWGs must, at a minimum, include URL filtering, as well as malicious-code detection and filtering. Leading solutions will also be able to provide Web application-level controls for at least some of the more popular applications, including instant messaging (IM). SWGs should integrate with directories to provide authentication and authorization, along with group- and user-level policy enforcement. An SWG must bring together all these functions, without compromising performance for end users, which has been a challenge for traditional antivirus Web filtering."

DevOps describes several different things with respect to release management. For some, it implies a type of behavior. Operations is generally not thought of as agile in changing the production environment; applying a DevOps methodology to operations engineers and administrators changes how releases are rolled out to production — i.e., more continuously.

For others, DevOps is focused on building more-efficient integration between the application development teams and their counterparts in production control, where release management — specifically hand-offs — become more streamlined and fluid. Regardless, DevOps practitioners can leverage release management to coordinate changes to the production environment. The benefits of formalizing the work include standardization of approaches, scalability, metrics, reporting and continual process improvement.
