In-depth analysis of the lessons we learned while protecting Gmail users
This post provides an in-depth analysis of the lessons we learned while protecting Gmail users and their inboxes. We felt it was about time to share the key lessons we learned the hard way while protecting Gmail for over a decade, so everyone involved in building an online product can benefit from them. To that effect, with the help of various Gmail safety leaders and long-time engineers, I distilled these lessons into a 25-minute talk for Enigma called “Lessons learned while protecting Gmail”. While such a short talk is great at providing an overview, it forces you to leave out details that provide deeper insights. This blog is, therefore, meant to fill this gap by sharing a more complete explanation for the lessons that need one and it complements my talk on the subject.
