Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: Share Your Experiences
Hello everyone! My name is Raphael Satter, and I’m a journalist who recently covered an intriguing story about the information security industry’s response—or lack thereof—to the White House’s criticisms of Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The piece has sparked considerable discussion, and I’m here to delve deeper into the topic with your help.
With the political landscape shifting rapidly, I’m particularly interested in hearing from cybersecurity professionals about their experiences during this time. Specifically, I would like to know if you have encountered any pressure to remain silent on social media regarding the ongoing situation, particularly from management. Additionally, are there any instances where you feel that research or findings in the realm of cybersecurity or misinformation have been stifled due to concerns over potential repercussions from the administration or influential figures like Trump or Musk?
Your insights would be incredibly valuable and could contribute to a better understanding of the implications of this situation within the cybersecurity community. Please feel free to share your personal experiences or any thoughts you may have. Thank you for engaging in this critical conversation!
