Seeking Insights: The Cybersecurity Industry’s Response to Recent Events

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts and professionals. My name is Raphael Satter, and I am one of the journalists behind a recent article discussing the silence that has enveloped the information security sector in response to actions taken by the White House. This piece examines how the industry has seemingly distanced itself from SentinelOne, particularly following criticisms aimed at former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company.

The article has generated considerable dialogue, which I find encouraging. I am reaching out to gather more insights from you, the community, on this matter. Specifically, I would like to know:

1. Have any of your employers advised you to refrain from commenting on social media regarding this situation, or more broadly on topics involving figures like Trump or Musk, or the new administration?
2. Do you sense that your research in cybersecurity or disinformation is being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the current administration?

Your experiences and thoughts are invaluable as they will help paint a clearer picture of the current climate in our industry. Thank you for your engagement, and I look forward to hearing your perspectives.
