Why Release Control Takes Weeks

The industry standard for release control is painfully manual: long-form policy documents, ServiceNow forms, human approvals, meetings, and tickets that take days or even weeks to close. In this video, Mike Long (CEO & Co-founder, Kosli) explains the difference between manual release control and an automated, zero-trust model where evidence is collected automatically, provenance identifies the artifact, and approvals can be fully codified.

Evidence as an Input

Evidence isn’t something you produce at the end — it’s something every control generates for the next one. In this video, Mike Long (CEO & Co-founder, Kosli) explains how vulnerability scans produce evidence tied to the artifact fingerprint and the policy file used, and how that evidence becomes an input to downstream controls like release approvals. This is the core of reusable, continuous compliance.
