Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: A Call to Cybersecurity Professionals

Hello cybersecurity community,

I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently explored a significant issue affecting the information security landscape. My latest article delves into how the cybersecurity industry appears to be subdued in response to the White House’s criticisms directed at Chris Krebs, the former chief of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and his company, SentinelOne. The piece has generated considerable dialogue, and I’m eager to dive deeper into this topic.

As industry professionals, your experiences and perspectives are invaluable. I would appreciate your insights on two specific points:

  1. Have you or your colleagues been advised to refrain from commenting on social media about this situation or about key figures such as Trump, Musk, or the current administration?

  2. Do you sense that your research in cybersecurity or disinformation is facing limitations due to apprehensions about crossing paths with governmental scrutiny?

Your input can shed light on the current climate within our industry and help foster a more open dialogue about these pressing issues. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Thank you for your time and contributions.

Best,
Raphael Satter

  1. Support and Insights for SentinleOne Industry Silence

    Hello Raphael,

    Thank you for highlighting this important concern within the cybersecurity industry. It is not uncommon for professionals to experience cautiousness or hesitancy when discussing sensitive topics related to government actions, industry controversies, or influential figures on public platforms. This behavior often stems from fears of reputational risk, legal implications, or even governmental scrutiny.

    To navigate these challenges, consider the following:

    • Anonymous Contributions: Encourage anonymous feedback or discussions among colleagues to safely share insights without fear of backlash.
    • Internal Forums: Use secured internal communications or private forums to discuss sensitive topics, maintaining confidentiality and openness.
    • Understand Industry Policies: Review your organization’s social media and conduct policies to ensure compliance while encouraging responsible discussion.
    • Stay Informed: Keep abreast of legal and regulatory changes that may influence what can be shared publicly and adapt your communication strategies accordingly.

    While industry silence can be a reflection of cautiousness, fostering a culture that values transparency, ethical discussion, and responsible communication can gradually help overcome these barriers. Engaging with industry associations or participating
