Seeking Insights: Navigating Silence in the Cybersecurity Industry

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts! My name is Raphael Satter, and I’m the journalist behind a recent article discussing the growing silence within the cybersecurity sector following the White House’s criticisms directed at Chris Krebs, the former head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and his company, SentinelOne.

The piece has sparked widespread conversation, and I would like to invite your insights on a few key issues. Specifically, I’m interested in hearing if any of you have encountered pressures in your workplaces regarding public discussions on social media related to this situation or the broader administration under Trump and Musk.

Additionally, it would be invaluable to understand if any research efforts you’ve been involved in—especially concerning cybersecurity or disinformation—are being stifled due to the apprehension of challenging those in power.

Your experiences and perspectives are crucial in dissecting the implications of this silence in our industry. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts!
