Explanation

Promoting code (moving code from development/staging to production) is a change management process. Application change management governs how modifications - including code deployments - are reviewed, approved, tested, and released to production systems, ensuring that only authorized and validated changes reach live environments. This directly relates to maintaining application integrity. Application hardening focuses on reducing attack surface (disabling services, patching, etc.). Application firewall review involves inspecting firewall rules. Application patch management deals specifically with applying vendor-supplied security patches, not deploying internally developed code updates. Code promotion follows a formal change management workflow.
