there's a database called virustotal which Google now owns they bought it and it's part of Chronicle which was their security company which got rolled up into Google Cloud
Google just has it right and Google has a much bigger data set and data scientists studying this
they know the IP addresses of those hackers of those nation-states and they know a spear phishing attack came in so they try to gather loads you about the signal so it might be that they know the infrastructure which would be like the IPS they're operating from it could be another signal maybe they are using their own Google accounts on the other side we don't know so who knows they have a lot of telemetry it's Google like they're a vertically integrated ISP CDN on their own data centers are lea

that is a beautiful example of our value prop as a company
every military service for example is a customer Army Navy Air Force
over half a trillion a year is spent on connectivity and it's all managed through like a subscription with AT&T and then a bunch of Excel documents it's actually kind of crazy there's no CRM as it were of the devices servers nodes on your network
so expense is the first platform for internet operations management
