Seeking Insights: The Silence of the Cybersecurity Industry

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts! I’m Raphael Satter, one of the journalists behind a recent report highlighting a concerning trend in the information security sector: a notable silence from industry leaders following political tensions involving SentinelOne and former CISA head Chris Krebs.

In my article, published by Reuters, I explored how the cybersecurity community seems to have retreated into silence amidst criticism from the White House. This topic has sparked an important conversation, and I’m eager to dive deeper into the implications.

I would appreciate hearing from professionals within this community regarding a couple of key points:

  1. Have you or your colleagues been instructed to refrain from discussing this situation, particularly on social media?

  2. Have you noticed any of your research in cybersecurity or misinformation being stifled out of concern for the current administration’s stance?

Your insights are invaluable and could contribute significantly to understanding the broader impact of these issues on the cybersecurity landscape. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your thoughts!

  1. Thank you for shedding light on this critical issue, Raphael. The silence from industry leaders can indeed hinder open discourse and the sharing of vital cybersecurity insights. In my experience, some organizations may impose indirect or formal guidelines to limit discussion on sensitive topics related to political or governmental matters. This can include instructions to avoid commenting publicly or on social media platforms to prevent potential reputational risks or politicization.

    To navigate such situations, I recommend the following steps:

    • Review internal policies: Check your organization’s communication and social media guidelines to understand any restrictions related to discussing industry-specific or politically sensitive issues.
    • Maintain transparency yet discretion: When discussing overarching trends or research findings publicly, ensure your commentary is factual, balanced, and compliant with company policies.
    • Engage through professional channels: Consider participating in industry conferences, webinars, or private forums where sensitive topics can be addressed more openly, adhering to confidentiality agreements if applicable.
    • Monitor research stifling: If you notice your or colleagues’ research findings being suppressed, it could be beneficial to document instances and escalate concerns through proper channels, such as your compliance or legal teams.

    Ultimately, fostering a culture of transparency while respecting organizational boundaries can help maintain
