Aleksandr (Alex) Yampolskiy is a global cybersecurity expert with a PhD in cryptography, and the founder of SecurityScorecard, a unicorn tech company valued at $1B. 


He teaches organizations on how to build a future where security is shared, adaptive, and strong enough to withstand whatever comes next.

As Seen on

We’re all exhausted from dealing with cybersecurity.

1 in 4

companies gets breached every year

It feels like no matter what we do, the breaches keep coming. 

We trust apps with our data. We assume companies know what they’re doing. 

But behind the scenes, the system is designed to look secure, not to actually be secure. Most companies still rely on outdated thinking: build impenetrable walls and hope for the best. 

But one in four companies gets breached every year, despite their best defenses. 

As one of the leading authorities on the future of cybersecurity, Aleksander Yampolskiy believes the path forward isn’t prevention, it’s resilience.

And he wants to show you how.

Hi, I’m Alex

15 years ago, I thought I was doing everything right. 

As the CISO of a fast-growing company, I grilled our vendors with 40-page security questionnaires, checked all the boxes, and still almost signed off on a partnership that left customer data exposed.

That’s when I realized: the biggest security threats aren’t always obvious. They’re hiding in the apps and companies we trust every day.

Today, I lead SecurityScorecard, a $1B company rating the security of over 12 million organizations worldwide. But my mission goes beyond business.

I want to help organizations (and individuals) rethink security, so we stop being passive victims and start building a digital world strong enough to withstand whatever comes next.

Why Admitting Vulnerability Is Our Strongest Defense
