Hey cyber folks, I’m the journalist behind the recent story on SentinelOne getting cold shouldered by the industry and I’d like your help

Seeking Insights: The Information Security Industry’s Response to Recent Events

Hello, cybersecurity community!

I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently covered a significant shift in the information security sector stemming from the White House’s criticism of former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. This story has ignited a robust dialogue, and I’m eager to delve deeper into this evolving narrative.

Your perspectives are invaluable to understanding the broader implications of these recent events. I’d like to gather insights from professionals in the field about two key areas:

1. Silence on Social Media: Have you been instructed by your superiors to refrain from commenting on this situation or the actions of figures like Trump or Musk?

2. Research Suppression: Do you sense that any of your work related to cybersecurity or disinformation is being hindered due to concerns about potential backlash from the current administration?

Your feedback will play a crucial role in unraveling how these influences are reshaping discourse and transparency in our industry. Thank you for contributing to this vital conversation!
