Title: Seeking Insights: The Silence in the Cybersecurity Industry
Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts!
I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently explored an intriguing development in the information security sector regarding SentinelOne and the industry’s current silence in response to political dynamics. My article, which delves into the reactions following the former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his firm being targeted by the White House, has led to extensive discussions, and your insights could further enrich this conversation.
I’d like to invite members of this community to share their experiences. Specifically, I’m curious to know:
-
Have any of you encountered situations where your employers have advised you to refrain from discussing this incident, or the broader implications of political figures like Trump and Musk, on social media?
-
Have you sensed that your work related to cybersecurity or misinformation research is being stifled due to concerns about potential backlash from the current administration?
Your feedback will be invaluable as we navigate this complex landscape together. I greatly appreciate your contributions and look forward to hearing your perspectives!
