Seeking Insights: The Cybersecurity Community’s Reaction to Industry Silence
Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts!
I’m Raphael Satter, one of the reporters responsible for a recent article discussing the notable silence within the information security sector following the White House’s criticism of former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The piece has ignited a significant conversation, and I’m eager to delve deeper into the perspectives within our industry.
I would like to invite you to share your experiences or observations regarding this situation. Specifically, I’m interested to hear if:
-
Your organization has encouraged you to maintain discretion on social media regarding the recent controversies involving high-profile figures such as Trump and Musk, or the current administration at large.
-
You believe that your research—whether it pertains to cybersecurity or misinformation—is being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the administration.
Your insights could provide invaluable context and enhance our understanding of the industry’s climate during these turbulent times. Thank you for considering contributing your thoughts!
