Title: Seeking Insights: The Cybersecurity Industry’s Response to Political Pressure
As a journalist who recently covered the unsettling silence within the cybersecurity sector following the White House’s criticisms of former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne, I am reaching out for your perspective on this pressing issue.
My name is Raphael Satter, and I’m one of the writers behind a story that has prompted significant conversation about the dynamics between politics and the cybersecurity community. Read the full article here.
The reaction—or lack thereof—from industry professionals has been noteworthy, and I am eager to hear more from those directly involved. Specifically, I would like to understand:
- Are you or your colleagues feeling pressure from management to refrain from discussing this situation—or broader political issues—on social media?
- Do you sense that your ongoing research in cybersecurity or misinformation is being hindered out of concern for potential repercussions from the current administration?
Your experiences and insights will be invaluable in illuminating how political dynamics are affecting the information security landscape. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts. Your contributions could play an essential role in furthering this important conversation.
