Title: Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: An Open Call to Cybersecurity Professionals
Hello, cybersecurity community,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Raphael Satter, and I am one of the journalists who recently covered the growing silence within the information security industry in response to the White House’s comments regarding SentinelOne and its former CISA chief, Chris Krebs. You can read the full story here.
I’m reaching out to gather insights and experiences from professionals in the field. The topic has generated significant discussion already, and I’m eager to explore it further.
I’m particularly interested in hearing whether any of you have experienced pressure from superiors to refrain from commenting on this situation, as well as broader issues related to the current administration, including figures like Trump and Musk. Additionally, I’m keen to learn if you believe any of your cybersecurity or disinformation research efforts are being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the government.
Your viewpoints are invaluable and could contribute significantly to the ongoing conversation about transparency and accountability in our industry. If you feel comfortable sharing your experiences, please reach out.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Raphael Satter
