Marketing bullshit.

"Software defined security". I don't know what technology does it
actually refer to, and don't know what the marketing guys coming out
with this smoking, but It should be some very good stuff. Being happy
for the most basic truths of life, and being able to say it out loud in
the possibly most inappropriate context, this is awesome.

And nothing actually relevant. The name fwtk, the first cryptographic
proxy, the invention of the buzzword stateful packet filtering, the year
when MJR left the industry. These are all missing.
