As organizations adopt cloud technologies, hackers shifted their focus to cloud service providers (CSPs) themselves. But cloud security programs are not all created equal, and the shared responsibility model can blur the lines of accountability. Cloud services need more than just a secure product and infrastructure; it must be a true partnership that includes culture, discipline, and transparency. In this session, you’ll learn how leading CSPs are ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your mission critical systems and data. You’ll also learn what federal agencies need to do to better secure those services in order to limit the risks to taxpayers and deploy modern IT architectures.

As a spy prepared to give away America’s biggest secrets after the 9/11 attacks, an FBI agent raced to catch her.

U.S. government officials knew they had a spy. But it never occurred to them it was a woman—and certainly not a superstar Defense Intelligence Agency employee known as “the Queen of Cuba.”

Ana Montes had spent seventeen years spying for the Cubans. She had been raised in a patriotic Puerto Rican household. Montes impressed her bosses, but in secret, spent her breaks memorizing top secret documents before sending them to the Cuban government. She received no payment, even as one of her missives could have brought her the death penalty.

After the 9/11 attacks, Cuba wanted Montes to continue her work. They couldn’t know the FBI was already on to her. Retired FBI agent Peter J. Lapp explains the clues—including never-released information—that led their team to catch one of the United States’ most dangerous spies.
