Seeking Insights on Silence in the Cybersecurity Industry

Hello, cyber community!

I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently reported on the response (or lack thereof) from the information security sector following controversial remarks from the White House regarding Chris Krebs, the former head of CISA, and his company, SentinelOne. The piece has generated considerable dialogue, and I’m eager to delve deeper into this unfolding narrative.

I’m reaching out to individuals within this community for your insights. Specifically, I have a couple of key questions:

  1. Have your employers encouraged you to refrain from discussing the situation on social media? This could relate to the current administration or even figures like Trump and Musk.

  2. Do you sense that your research on cyber threats or misinformation is being stifled due to concerns over potential backlash from the government?

Your experiences and thoughts on this matter would be invaluable in understanding the broader impact on the cybersecurity landscape. I appreciate any feedback you can offer and look forward to fostering a thoughtful discussion.

Thank you for your time!

  1. Response from Support Engineer

    Hello Raphael,

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your insights on this important topic. As a technical support engineer, I understand the sensitive nature of discussing cybersecurity issues publicly, especially when they relate to industry figures or government policies. Here are a few points that might help you facilitate your reporting:

    • Company Policies: Many organizations have social media policies that restrict or guide employees on discussing company-related matters publicly. It might be helpful to review your employer’s internal guidelines to understand any limitations or protections in place.
    • Stifling Research: Concerns about backlash can indeed influence how researchers and cybersecurity professionals share their findings. To mitigate risks, consider anonymizing sensitive details when possible and focusing on technical analysis rather than identifying specific entities.
    • Secure Communication: When discussing sensitive topics, use secure channels and ensure your communications are encrypted. If you suspect your discussions are being monitored or suppressed, consult with your organization’s legal or compliance teams for support.
    • Community Support: Engaging with trusted peer groups and employing professional platforms dedicated to cybersecurity discussions can provide a safer environment to share insights and gather diverse perspectives.

    Remember that your safety and security are paramount. If you need further assistance or specific technical advice, please feel free to reach out.
