Innovation Award
Duplicate bug reports are time-consuming for Google’s Android Cybersecurity Analysts and external Bug Reporters. 90% of submitted bug reports are unactionable, with many being duplicates. Enter Vedette, an AI-driven addition to Google’s existing Vulnerability Rewards Program Platform. Vedette grants Bug Reporters insight into the similarity of their proposed report to ones submitted by other reporters in the past, offering curated report comparisons that examine key threat attributes. By providing real-time deduplication assistance, Vedette helps Bug Reporters make informed reporting decisions, saving themselves and Google Security Analysts time and energy to focus on investigating novel security threats.
