Seeking Insights on Silence in Cybersecurity: A Call to the Community

Greetings, cybersecurity enthusiasts!

I’m Raphael Satter, the journalist behind a recent article that delves into the striking silence within the cybersecurity sector following notable criticisms from the White House against former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The responses to this piece have been enlightening, igniting important discussions among professionals in the field.

As I continue to explore the implications of this phenomenon, I’m reaching out to the community for your valuable insights. I’m particularly interested in hearing from you regarding a couple of key points:

1. Have you experienced any pressure from your superiors to refrain from discussing this matter on social media?
2. Do you believe that your cybersecurity or disinformation research has been stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the current administration?

Your experiences and thoughts are crucial in understanding the broader landscape of our industry during this time of tension. Thank you in advance for your contributions and for helping to shed light on this important issue.
