Topics Covered:

• The Modern Risk Landscape: Understanding the "Triple Threat" of development velocity, complex supply chains, and increasing regulatory liability.
• Application Risk Governance: Defining the shift from point-in-time scanning to a continuous, unified governance layer.
• The Application Entity: How to unify repositories, builds, and security evidence into a single, business-aware context.
• Full Lifecycle Integrity: Moving beyond snapshots to govern the application's integrity from the first line of code through production.
• Evidence-Based Control Gates: Utilizing automated "Trusted Release Stamps" to ensure only compliant, certified versions are deployed.
