AutoVM's missing is to keep Alphabet secure by automatically finding all known security vulnerabilities and enabling fast, effective fixes for asset owners.

AutoVM stands for Automated Vulnerability Management. We are a mix of Software Engineers and Security Engineers that operate synergistically on complex efforts. The organization has a healthy mix of exciting new efforts and long running highly impactful programs. We are on the critical path of many risk reduction efforts and work vertically across the stack as well as horizontally across the company for workloads/assets in Cloud, Prod, Off-Google, Delivered Software, Corp, etc.
