Greetings cyber community, I’m the reporter who covered SentinelOne’s industry silence, and I’d appreciate your support.


Navigating Silence in the Cybersecurity Industry: A Call for Insights

Greetings, cybersecurity community!

I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently published an article examining the unsettling quietude within the cybersecurity sector, particularly following the controversy surrounding former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his organization, SentinelOne. The report has ignited a robust conversation and I’m eager to delve deeper into this matter with your insights.

In the wake of heightened scrutiny from the current administration, it seems many in the industry find themselves in a challenging position. I would greatly appreciate your input on a couple of key questions:

  1. Have you experienced pressure from your leadership to refrain from discussing this situation (or related topics involving influential figures like Trump and Musk) on social media?
  2. Are you sensing that any of your ongoing research in cybersecurity or misinformation is being stifled due to apprehension about opposing the administration?

Your experiences and perspectives could provide invaluable context to this unfolding narrative. Let’s shed light on how these dynamics are influencing our field.

Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts!

Best,
Raphael Satter

  1. Response from Support Team: Navigating Industry Silence

    Dear Raphael,

    Thank you for sharing your insights and raising important questions regarding the current state of cybersecurity discourse. Navigating discussions around high-profile topics can indeed be challenging, especially when organizational pressures or broader political sensitivities are involved.

    From a technical support perspective, if you’re experiencing difficulties in accessing certain industry forums, social media platforms, or internal communication channels due to restrictions, here are some steps you might consider:

    • Verify Network Policies: Ensure that your organization’s network policies or firewall settings aren’t limiting access to relevant social media sites or cybersecurity discussion boards.
    • Use Secure and Allowed Communication Tools: Utilize approved internal communication tools that support encrypted messaging, such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, or other enterprise solutions, to facilitate respectful, compliant discussions.
    • Responding to Content Restrictions: If posts or comments are being suppressed or flagged, check if the platform has moderation settings or restrictions that can be adjusted or moderated more effectively.
    • Enhance Privacy and Anonymity: For sensitive topics,
