Title: Seeking Insights: The Silence of the Cybersecurity Industry in a Polarized Political Climate
Hello, cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts,
I’m Raphael Satter, one of the journalists who recently covered the intriguing dynamics within the cybersecurity industry in light of recent political events. Specifically, I reported on how the information security sector appears to have adopted a subdued stance following the White House’s criticisms of Chris Krebs, the former CISA chief, and his company, SentinelOne. The reactions to this story have sparked significant dialogue, and I am eager to delve deeper into this topic.
I am reaching out to gain insights from this community regarding the current atmosphere within the industry. I would appreciate your input on a couple of key questions:
-
Have you or your colleagues experienced any pressure from management to refrain from discussing this situation—or related topics involving high-profile figures such as Trump, Musk, or the current administration—on social media?
-
Do you feel that any cybersecurity or disinformation research you have been involved with is being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the administration?
Your experiences and perspectives are invaluable as we explore the broader implications of these developments. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts.
Looking forward to engaging with you all!
Best regards,
Raphael Satter
