AI, Security & Software Governance: How to Stay in Control Of AI Software Development
Episode 3
Wednesday, 4 March, 2026
In this podcast Dave Erickson and his very human co-host Botond Seres, are going to hack their way to understanding AI and Cybersecurity from a development perspective with Nir Valtman - Co-Founder & CEO at ArnicaNir is a security executive whose work has focused on making software security seamless for developers rather than a bottleneck. Before founding Arnica, he led security strategies at Finastra, NCR and Kabbage, and he’s a regular speaker at Black Hat, Defcon, and RSA cyber security events.With 7 patents and several open source projects to his name, Nir brings firsthand experience - bridging enterprise needs and developer-driven security.Nir’s company Arnica, is breaking new ground by embedding security directly into developer workflows, including embedding for AI-generated code.

Before founding Arnica, he led security strategies at Finastra, Kabbage (where he was CISO during its acquisition by Amex), and NCR, and he’s a regular speaker at Black Hat, Defcon, and RSA. With 7 patents and several open source projects to his name, Nir brings firsthand experience bridging enterprise needs and developer-driven security.Arnica is breaking new ground by embedding security directly into developer workflows, including for AI-generated code. With tools like Arnie, an agentic enforcer, Arnica enables engineering and AppSec teams to bake security into every stage of development, without trade-offs to speed or collaboration. This approach speaks directly to the future-of-work questions you raised with Ari, connecting innovation, productivity, and security in the age of automated coding.
