Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: A Call to Cybersecurity Professionals
Hello, fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts,
I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently reported on a compelling story regarding SentinelOne and the wider information security community’s unexpected silence following critiques from the White House against former CISA chief Chris Krebs. This piece has generated significant conversation, and I’m eager to hear from those of you working within the field.
Your insights could provide invaluable context to the narrative surrounding this situation. Specifically, I’m interested in understanding:
-
Have you experienced pressure from your supervisors to refrain from discussing this incident on social media? This could extend to the broader implications of topics related to Trump, Musk, or the current administration’s policies.
-
Do you feel that any research on cybersecurity or disinformation you’ve been engaged with is being stifled to avoid potential backlash from the government?
Your perspectives are incredibly important as they can help shine a light on the climate of communication and research in our industry during these turbulent times. Please feel free to share your experiences or thoughts in the comments below.
Thank you for contributing to this crucial discussion. Together, we can better understand the implications of these developments in our field.
