Cloud Abuse with Swati Kulshreshth and Emeka Okonkwo

Swati Kulshreshth and Emeka Okonkwo join your co-hosts, Mark and Francesc, today to give us an overview of what the Google Cloud Abuse team, how it can impact you, and in what ways it protects everyone: including you!

About Swati

Swati leads developer experience for Cloud TnS. She is responsible for ensuring that developers whose projects are flagged for suspicious activity can easily fix the issue.

About Emeka
