IBM Bob and valantic as AI Agents AI generated

Whitepaper

IBM Bob. More than just code.

SDLC with Security, Data Protection, and Control.

AI coding no longer starts with a single function. It encompasses the entire software development lifecycle: from the initial idea through analysis and planning to development, testing, and documentation. At the same time, a crucial question arises: What happens to your code and your data? This white paper shows how both go hand in hand—that is, powerful Agentic AI along with full control and security.

Here are the topics you can expect:

  • Bob as an AI SDLC Partner: How Bob plans, analyzes, develops, tests, and documents - all directly within your development environment.

  • Controlling AI Agents: How to use .bobignore and approval workflows to define what Bob is allowed to do.
  • NIS2 in context: The role AI plays in your security and risk strategy.
  • On-Premises operations: When a fully on-premises or hybrid deployment makes sense.
  • Five use cases: Develop, Modernize, Test & Review, Secure, and Automate.
