While intelligence agencies are making progress generating modern cloud environments that underpin secure IT services and reliable access to their secretive data workloads, they’re also confronting unique challenges associated with operating in multi- and hybrid-cloud constructs, according to senior officials.
Broadly, multi-cloud computing models involve two or more public cloud options, and hybrid cloud computing refers to environments with a mix of private (or enterprise-hosted) and public cloud services.

Last week, Taiwan’s foreign minister announced that the island is in talks with Washington about possibly being brought under the United States’ nuclear umbrella. If it were to happen, the move would be seen as a clear escalation by Beijing and would likely greatly increase the potential for a future war with China.

Believe it or not, you’ve almost certainly played with a secret weapon before. Well, not literally a weapon, but Japan’s secret ace-in-the-hole for their invasion of Malaysia in 1941.
