How Upwork Eliminated IaC Remediation Backlog

Upwork, the world’s human and AI-powered work marketplace, used Gomboc to close cloud security gaps across hundreds of repositories without slowing engineers down.

“Instead of reviewing alerts, our engineers reviewed fixes. That shift saved weeks of manual work while improving consistency and security.”

- Shawn Chakravarty, Sr. Director of Active Defense, Upwork

What Makes Gomboc Different

From Findings to Fixes — Powered by Deterministic AI and the ORL Engine

Gomboc focuses on outcomes: generating correct, merge-ready fixes that engineers can trust. Powered by the ORL execution engine, Gomboc converts issues  and policy guardrails into deterministic fixes delivered directly in code.

Every remediation follows a controlled execution path. No hallucinated code. No guesswork. Over 94% of fixes are accepted as-is and delivered as pull requests in Git workflows, enabling continuous remediation without slowing delivery.

Automation Flow

Fix Without Breaking Flow

Gomboc executes cloud security remediation directly inside your existing development workflow. When a misconfiguration is identified, the ORL execution engine generates a precise code fix and delivers it as a pull request ready for review, merge, and deployment. No tickets to chase. No vague recommendations to decipher. Just fixes that ship.

Remediate.

Reclaim.

Repeat.

Gomboc’s deterministic AI delivers the industry’s most accurate fixes, far beyond the basic, single-file solutions. Gomboc analyzes your entire architecture and context to apply precise, project-wide fixes that actually work.

How Gomboc Works

Workflow Visualization

Misconfiguration Identified 

Cloud or IaC issues are detected through existing scanners, policies, or CI/CD checks. ORL evaluates the issue against your architecture, policy guardrails, and security standards to determine the correct remediation path.  

Deterministic Fix Generated 

The ORL engine generates a deterministic, standards-aligned fix that's precisely scoped and context-aware.  

Fix Delivered in Code 

The fix is delivered as production-ready code inside your repository, preserving normal engineering workflows.

Review, Merge, Deploy 

Engineers review like any code change. Once merged, it flows through CI/CD, deploys to the cloud, and logs for audit and compliance. ORL ensures the remediation path remains deterministic and aligned with policy.

Why Now?

Misconfigured Cloud Service

The average cost of a cloud data breach is $5.17M. Attackers exploit exposed misconfigurations within hours. Gomboc keeps you ahead of risk by resolving issues before they're breached.

What Changes When AI Fixes Ship Automatically

Gomboc replaces weeks of manual remediation with deterministic, merge-ready fixes that deliver measurable results from day one.

100% Deterministic,
Standards-Aligned Fixes

Every fix Gomboc generates is accurate and produced the same way every time. No guesswork. No hallucinated code. Just infrastructure changes engineers can trust.

94%+ Fix Acceptance Rate, As-Is

The vast majority of Gomboc’s pull requests are merged without modification, reflecting high confidence in both accuracy and relevance.

$100K Savings per Cloud Workload

Equivalent to the cost of engineering effort avoided per workload.

MTTR Reduced From Months to Minutes

Automated, merge-ready fixes eliminate long remediation cycles and close security gaps as soon as issues are detected.

50+ Engineering Days Saved per Cloud Workload, Annually

Engineers stop researching, rewriting, and revalidating fixes and spend that time shipping instead.

11× Reduction in Misconfiguration-Related Risk

Consistent, standards-aligned remediation reduces exposure and prevents drift without slowing releases or increasing operational overhead.
