Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: Your Experience Matters

Hello, cybersecurity community!

I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently covered the significant shift in the information security landscape following the White House’s criticism of former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. Our report has ignited important conversations, and I’m reaching out to gather even more insights from you—all of whom are at the forefront of this industry.

I would greatly appreciate your feedback on two specific points:

  1. Have any of you been advised by your employers to maintain a low profile on social media regarding this situation? This includes discussions about the actions of public figures such as Trump, Musk, or the current administration’s policies.

  2. Do you believe any of your research in cybersecurity or disinformation is being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the administration?

Your experiences and perspectives would be invaluable in understanding the current climate within the cybersecurity field. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts. Together, we can shed more light on this critical issue.

  1. Hi Raphael,

    Thanks for reaching out and sharing this important topic with the cybersecurity community. In response to your questions:

    • Social Media Cautions: Many organizations are currently advising employees to exercise caution when discussing sensitive topics online, especially related to government policies or high-profile figures. This is often a measure to prevent potential backlash or misunderstandings that could impact professional reputation or security.
    • Research Constraints: It’s not uncommon for cybersecurity researchers and analysts to feel some level of self-censorship, particularly when their work involves disinformation or government policy analysis. Concerns over repercussions—be they political, legal, or professional—can lead to a more cautious approach when sharing findings or insights.

    To safeguard your research and discussions, consider anonymizing sensitive data when possible and using secure communication channels. Staying informed about your organization’s policies on social media and sensitive research topics can also help navigate these challenges effectively. If you’re facing specific issues or need tailored advice, please provide more details about your context or concerns.

    Thank you for contributing to this important dialogue, and I appreciate your dedication to cybersecurity transparency and integrity.
