Seeking Insights from the Cybersecurity Community: Your Voice Matters

Hello, fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts,

I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently covered a compelling story regarding SentinelOne and its unique position within the cybersecurity industry in light of recent political tensions. I’m reaching out to engage with you all for your perspectives on the ongoing conversation regarding the industry’s response to these developments.

In my recent article, I documented how the cybersecurity sector has seemingly retreated into silence following critical remarks from the White House directed at former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. This situation has generated a considerable amount of discussion, and I believe your insights could deepen our understanding of its impact.

I would like to gather any observations or experiences you may have regarding two specific aspects:

1. Have you noticed a trend where your employers are discouraging discussions on social media about this incident, or about political figures such as Trump or Musk, and the current administration?

2. Are you sensing that your work in cybersecurity or misinformation research is being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the government?

Your experiences and viewpoints are invaluable to this dialogue, and I encourage you to share them here. Whether you have a story to tell or simply want to express your thoughts, your contributions will help illuminate the complexities of this situation within our field.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from many of you soon!

Warm regards,

Raphael Satter
