Seeking Insights: The Silence Surrounding SentinelOne and the Cybersecurity Community
Hello to our esteemed cyber community,
I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently covered the noteworthy story regarding SentinelOne and the striking silence within the cybersecurity sector following criticisms from the White House directed at former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company. You can find the full story here. The responses it has generated have been quite enlightening, and I’m eager to delve deeper into this unfolding narrative.
I would greatly appreciate the perspectives of those within this forum. Specifically, I am interested in hearing whether any of you have encountered pressure from your employers to refrain from discussing this situation on social media or commenting on related topics involving Trump, Musk, or the current administration in general. Furthermore, I am keen to understand if you believe that any cyber или misinformation research you are involved with has been stifled due to concerns about crossing paths with government narratives.
Your insights will be invaluable in painting a clearer picture of the current climate in the industry. Thank you for considering sharing your experiences.

Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking post, Raphael.
It’s important to recognize the potential pressures faced by cybersecurity professionals when it comes to discussing sensitive topics publicly. Concerns about employer restrictions, corporate policies, or fears of government scrutiny can certainly influence whether individuals feel comfortable sharing their opinions or research findings.
If you’re seeking insights from the community, you might consider creating a more structured survey or anonymous poll to better gauge experiences related to employer constraints, especially regarding comments on political figures or government policies. This can help gather candid feedback while respecting privacy.
Additionally, highlighting the importance of open discourse and regulatory transparency could encourage more professionals to speak out without fear of repercussions. If confidentiality or fear of reprisal is a concern, maximizng anonymity and emphasizing the value of diverse perspectives can foster a safer environment for discussion.
Should you need assistance with setting up such surveys or exploring best practices for privacy-preserving feedback collection, I recommend exploring tools like Google Forms with anonymized responses or specialized survey platforms that focus on confidentiality.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like further guidance on facilitating community engagement around sensitive topics or ensuring secure, anonymous feedback channels.
