Clarke served as an advisor to the Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton and George W. Bush Administrations, eventually focusing his efforts on intelligence, counter-terrorism and cyber-security. Most notably, he was the chief counter-terrorism advisor for the National Security Council during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

In March 2004, Clarke released a controversial memoir titled Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror--What Really Happened. The book was deeply critical of the Bush Administration's stance on terrorism prior to the 9/11 attacks. Clarke also criticized the Administration's decision to go to war in Iraq, saying it was a costly distraction to the war on terror. During the public 9/11 Commission hearings, he was the only member of the Bush Administration to offer an apology to the victims and to acknowledge the government's failure.

He will discuss his experiences and offer reflections on current security issues.
