Topics:

• Could you give us the 30 second overview of our favorite “billion user security product” - SafeBrowsing - and, since you were there, how did it get started?

• SafeBrowsing is a consumer and business product – are you mitigating the same threats and threat models on each side?

• Making this work at scale can’t be easy, anytime we’re talking about billion device protection, there are massive scale questions. How did we make it work at such a scale? 

• Talk to us about the engineering and scaling magic behind the low false positive rate for blocking?
