Inside Google: Cybersecurity and Data from the Inside. What’s Alphabet?

Inside Google: Cybersecurity and Data from the Inside. What’s Alphabet? Not long ago, they were sitting right where you are: in UC3M classrooms, wrestling with code that wouldn’t compile and exams against the clock. Today, Edu Bonilla and Álvaro Muñoz work at Google, and they’re coming back home to tell us what’s on the other side. 🔐 Edu Bonilla, Senior Technical Account Manager (EMEA, LATAM & Middle East). Edu is the technical bridge between Google and major clients across three regions of the world. He’ll share how information is protected when we’re talking about critical infrastructure and billions of users, what it’s like to guide companies through their cybersecurity challenges, and which skills make the difference in a field where standing still is not an option. 📊 Álvaro Muñoz, Customer Engineer, Data Analytics & AI. Data is useless until someone asks it the right question. Álvaro helps companies turn mountains of data into decisions and take AI from the research paper into production. He’ll show us what that process looks like in the real world, and what a Customer Engineer actually does. 🌐 What’s Alphabet? Many people use the two names interchangeably, but they’re not the same thing. Alphabet is the parent company created in 2015 to bring together Google and a range of projects that go far beyond search: self-driving cars with Waymo, health and life sciences with Verily, delivery drones with Wing, and the wildest ideas from X, the famous “moonshot factory”. Google remains the heart of the group, with Search, YouTube, Android, Cloud, and AI research at Google DeepMind. Edu and Álvaro will explain how it all fits together and what it’s like to work inside an organization of this scale. What you’ll take away An honest look at what working at a big tech company is really like What client-facing technical roles actually involve, something rarely explained in your degree Advice from people who walked the same path from UC3M Time to ask everything you’d never dare to search on LinkedIn No background in cybersecurity or AI needed. Just bring your curiosity and your questions.
