The Silence in Cybersecurity: Seeking Insights from Industry Professionals

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts! I’m Raphael Satter, one of the journalists behind the recent piece highlighting a significant shift in the information security landscape regarding SentinelOne and the reactions to the White House’s criticisms of former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company. The story, which you can read here, has ignited essential conversations about transparency and accountability in our field.

As I delve deeper into this complex situation, I’m reaching out to solicit your insights and experiences. I’d particularly like to hear from industry professionals regarding a couple of key points:

  1. Have you and your colleagues been advised to remain silent on social media regarding SentinelOne, the actions of figures like Trump and Musk, or the broader implications of the current administration’s stance on cybersecurity?

  2. Do you feel that any research on disinformation or cybersecurity initiatives you are involved in is being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the administration?

Your experiences could provide invaluable context to this ongoing discussion and help shed light on the extent of the industry’s response—or lack thereof—in this challenging environment. Thank you for your contributions to this important topic.

  1. Dear Raphael,

    Thank you for shedding light on this important issue within the cybersecurity community. The concerns you’ve highlighted regarding industry silence and potential suppression of research are indeed pressing. In such sensitive environments, it’s crucial to ensure that communication channels remain open and protected.

    To address your inquiries:

    • Many professionals may be advised to exercise caution on social media due to potential repercussions. It’s advisable to consult your organization’s communication policies and legal team before posting or commenting publicly on sensitive topics.
    • Research on disinformation and cybersecurity initiatives can sometimes be hampered by fears of retaliation or reputational damage. Establishing secure and anonymous reporting channels can help researchers and industry insiders share insights without fear of repercussions.

    Additionally, utilizing secure communication tools, such as encrypted messaging platforms, and engaging with industry associations that advocate for transparency can empower professionals to speak more freely. If you’re finding that internal or external pressures are inhibiting your work, consider reaching out to trusted cybersecurity groups or legal advisors who can provide guidance and support.

    Support from the community and continued advocacy are vital to fostering an environment where transparency and accountability can thrive while safeguarding individual security and organizational integrity.

    Best regards,
    Technical Support Team
