Скачать или смотреть Episode 109 - Building a Secure Development AI Program in 2026

It is time for the annual holiday fundraiser episode! This year I deviate a little from the usual process but more on that later. Over the past year I have talked from time to time on the work that the AI and Dev Center of Excellences (CoE) have been doing. From implementing an enterprise wide code repository to opening up different Large Language Models (LLM) to the utilization of Agents for coding and Model Context Protocol servers a lot has changed.

What better to help explain the journey that getting some of the key players on the podcast. I am very glad to have Kyle Jero , Lead Data Scientist of GenAI for Corewell Health and Aaron Tellis Senior Data Engineer for Corewell Health on the podcast.

Here are just a couple of the great and insightful topics that we covered:

• How AI and Dev CoEs and the policies and standards are evolving

• The need for the creation of an Development AI Subcommittee

• The concept of a 'Digital Twin for Developers'

• The challenges on evaluating and onboarding AI Dev tools quickly where possible

• Potential downfalls for Dev Teams when it coming to training Junior Devs in the future

• AI tools being used for 'harm' and how to help be more secure

• What does 2026 hold for Dev AI Teams?

Fundraising Update:

We did the fundraising for this event a little different this year, rather than have one or two vendors sponsor the episode, I was able to use some of the leftover funds from Cloud Con. I am happy to report that we donated $750 dollars to seven different charities. They were Toys for Tots of West Michigan, North Kent Connect, Black Girls Code, St. Joseph's Indian School, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Guiding Light Ministries and Raices Cyber. The total donated for 2025 was over $1,500. I wouldn't be able to do this community work without the support of my awesome security leadership team at Corewell Health and Matt Nelson and the rest of the Really Bad Security crew. Here's hoping that 2026 is another great year!
