Attention digital enthusiasts! I’m the journalist who reported on SentinelOne’s industry neglect, and I could use your support.

Title: Seeking Insights from the Cybersecurity Community on SentinelOne’s Recent Challenges

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts!

I’m Raphael Satter, one of the journalists who recently reported on a significant development in the information security landscape: the industry’s unexpected silence following sharp criticisms from the White House aimed at Chris Krebs, the former director of CISA, and his firm, SentinelOne. You can read more about this situation in my detailed article here. The piece has ignited a thought-provoking dialogue, and I appreciate the engagement it has generated.

I am reaching out to this community for your valuable perspectives. Specifically, I am interested in whether anyone has experienced the following:

  1. Have you or your colleagues been instructed to remain silent on social media regarding this situation, or perhaps on broader topics involving prominent figures like Trump or Musk, or the current administration?

  2. Do you feel that your research in cybersecurity or disinformation is facing withholding or suppression due to apprehensions about contradicting the administration?

Your insights could significantly contribute to understanding the impact of political dynamics on the cybersecurity sector. Thank you for considering sharing your experiences!

    Dear Raphael,

    Thank you for highlighting these important concerns affecting cybersecurity professionals. While I cannot speak to specific instructions from organizations or government entities, I can suggest some general considerations:

    • Social Media Guidelines: Many organizations implement social media policies to ensure compliance with legal and strategic considerations. If employees are instructed to refrain from discussing certain topics publicly, it is typically documented in internal policies. If you’re experiencing ambiguity, consult your company’s HR or legal team regarding permissible communications.
    • Research and Disinformation: Researchers in sensitive areas sometimes encounter institutional or political pressures. Maintaining thorough documentation of findings and ensuring compliance with organizational policies can help safeguard your work. Consider anonymizing data or seeking legal counsel if you suspect suppression or coercion.

    In addition, engaging with professional communities and seeking peer advice can provide support and guidance. If you face undue pressure, escalating concerns through official channels or legal counsel may be necessary to ensure your rights and research integrity are protected.

    If you’re using SentinelOne or similar cybersecurity tools, ensuring
