With the generous financial support of Dmitri Alperovitch and Maureen Hinman, the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies has established the Alperovitch Institute for Cybersecurity Studies to support SAIS students and faculty dedicated to cutting edge research and excellent instruction focused on the intersection between cybersecurity, statecraft, and policy. The Institute’s goal is two-fold: first, to develop innovative research that will shape national and global research agendas and policies and second, the train future scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to be more knowledgeable in the implications of evolving cybersecurity threats and emerging opportunities that exist to strengthen national, industrial and personal security, enhance commerce, and formulate effective policies in the digital theater.
