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.
