Welcome to Episode 6 of Spire Connect (powered by Spire Solutions) - where innovation meets conversation.

In this episode, we’re joined by Tom Herrmann, Global Channel VP at Black Duck, to break down the biggest shift happening in cybersecurity right now: the explosion of AI-generated code and what it means for application security, licensing, and regulatory compliance.

We discuss how Black Duck can identify which parts of code are LLM/AI-generated, why code provenance and licensing will become critical in the coming years, and why application security is no longer optional, for enterprises or mid-sized businesses. Tom also shares how Black Duck scales across regions like the UAE, Europe, Singapore, and the US, and what he looks for when building strong partner ecosystems.

If you’re a CIO, CISO, Chief AI Officer, developer leader, or cybersecurity decision-maker, this conversation will give you practical clarity on how to think about AppSec in the AI era.
