On Monday, Sept. 27, the Strauss Center is pleased to welcome, as part of its cybersecurity series "Tales From the Cybersecurity Front," Christina Morillo for a virtual talk on "Cybersecurity is Only Partly Cloudy." With most organizations still using a hybrid approach to cloud, it leaves plenty of gaps in cybersecurity for them to navigate. In this interactive session, cloud security assessment lead and author Morillo will get real about what we think is secure and what really isn't, and what enterprises, vendors and policymakers should be working on together to fix it. This talk will be moderated by Wendy Nather, Strauss Center Senior Cybersecurity Fellow and lead of the Advisory CISO team at Cisco.

On Tuesday, Sept. 28, the Clements Center for National Security will host Amanda Demmer, assistant professor of History at Virginia Tech, for a virtual event on her recent release, "After Saigon's Fall: Refugees and U.S.-Vietnamese Relations, 1975–2000."
