Dmitri Alperovitch has become one of the most influential voices at the intersection of cybersecurity, national security and technology policy. As Co-Founder and Chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator, he works on policy challenges spanning cyber resilience, industrial strategy, geopolitics and great-power competition. Silverado describes its work as focused on developing and implementing practical policy solutions to major strategic challenges, giving Alperovitch a platform that reaches beyond conventional cyber commentary.
He also co-founded CrowdStrike and served as its Chief Technology Officer, helping build one of the world’s most significant cybersecurity companies before moving into policy, strategy and wider national security analysis. That combination of technical credibility and strategic insight gives his work particular weight.
Educating leaders on emerging threats
Through the Alperovitch Institute for Cybersecurity Studies at Johns Hopkins SAIS, his writing, public speaking and commentary, Alperovitch continues to educate leaders on the threats reshaping security. He is also the author of World on the Brink: How America Can Beat China in the Race for the 21st Century, further reflecting his focus on the relationship between technology, geopolitics and national resilience.
His work matters because cyber risk now affects physical infrastructure, supply chains, critical services and enterprise continuity. Security leaders can no longer separate digital threats from operational risk. By connecting technical insight with policy, geopolitics and board-level decision-making, Alperovitch helps industry and government audiences understand the forces that will shape security priorities, resilience planning and investment choices across sectors in 2026 and beyond.
