Adam Anderson

Adam Anderson is a cybersecurity greybeard, entrepreneur and co-founder of ThreatCaptain, a company dedicated to helping businesses understand cyber risk in plain financial and operational terms. With more than two decades of experience in the cybersecurity world, Anderson has seen firsthand how often technical teams and business leaders talk past each other. His career has been built on fixing that problem.

Anderson began his journey in cybersecurity long before it was a household word, working inside Fortune 500 environments and later founding multiple startups in security, technology and risk management. Over the years, Anderson has advised companies across industries on how to translate cyber threats into business impact, helping leadership teams understand not just what the risks are, but what they mean for revenue, operations, insurance and long-term strategy.

Anderson is known for taking complex, technical cybersecurity concepts and turning them into stories, numbers and decisions that make sense in the boardroom. That ability—connecting the technical to the tangible—drives Anderson's work with ThreatCaptain, where Anderson helps MSPs and businesses move beyond jargon and into meaningful conversations about value, risk and financial outcomes.

Anderson also brings a healthy dose of creativity to his work. His current passion project, "Space Whiskey," sends whiskey into low Earth orbit to explore how zero gravity influences tannins and flavor, driven by sound waves sourced from rock bands like Shinedown. It is a mix of science, experimentation and curiosity that mirrors his approach to innovation in cybersecurity.

Based in Greenville, South Carolina, Anderson continues to champion the idea that cybersecurity should be accessible, practical and aligned with real business goals and that when teams speak the same language, everyone wins.
