Navigating Silence in the Cybersecurity Industry: A Call for Insights
Greetings, cybersecurity community!
I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently published an article examining the unsettling quietude within the cybersecurity sector, particularly following the controversy surrounding former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his organization, SentinelOne. The report has ignited a robust conversation and I’m eager to delve deeper into this matter with your insights.
In the wake of heightened scrutiny from the current administration, it seems many in the industry find themselves in a challenging position. I would greatly appreciate your input on a couple of key questions:
- Have you experienced pressure from your leadership to refrain from discussing this situation (or related topics involving influential figures like Trump and Musk) on social media?
- Are you sensing that any of your ongoing research in cybersecurity or misinformation is being stifled due to apprehension about opposing the administration?
Your experiences and perspectives could provide invaluable context to this unfolding narrative. Let’s shed light on how these dynamics are influencing our field.
Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts!
Best,
Raphael Satter
