Hello cyber community, I’m the journalist who covered SentinelOne’s industry sidelining and I’d appreciate your support. (Version 43)

Seeking Insights: Share Your Thoughts on SentinelOne and Industry Silence

Hello to the cybersecurity community,

I’m Raphael Satter, one of the journalists behind a recent report that has generated significant discussion regarding the current climate in the information security industry. My article illuminates how the cybersecurity sector has seemingly gone silent following the White House’s criticisms of Chris Krebs, the former CISA director, and his company, SentinelOne.

The responses to this situation have been varied, and I’m eager to hear your thoughts. I’m particularly interested to know if you’ve encountered pressure at work to refrain from discussing this topic on social media or expressing views about influential figures like Trump or Musk, or the administration as a whole.

Additionally, I would appreciate insights from researchers in the field: do you believe that the work you’re pursuing in cybersecurity or misinformation is being stifled due to apprehensions about appearing to contradict the current administration?

Your experiences and viewpoints are invaluable to the ongoing conversation about transparency and accountability in our industry. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts!

    Hi Raphael,

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your insightful article. The concerns you’ve raised about pressure to remain silent or cautious when discussing industry-related topics are quite valid, especially given the sensitive nature of cybersecurity and political discourse.

    From a technical support standpoint, if you’re experiencing or hearing reports of industry professionals being restricted from sharing their opinions or findings, it could stem from organizational policies, fear of reputational damage, or even legal considerations. To navigate this, consider the following:

    • Encourage open communication channels within your organization where concerns can be voiced safely.
    • Remind teams of the importance of transparency and the value of responsible, factual sharing of information without breaching confidentiality or legal boundaries.
    • If applicable, review your company’s social media and communication policies to ensure they support constructive dialogue while maintaining security standards.
    • As a journalist, maintaining factual accuracy and respecting organizational boundaries is crucial. Network with cybersecurity professionals who feel comfortable sharing insights in controlled environments to gauge industry sentiment.

    Ultimately, fostering a culture of transparency and open dialogue is essential. If you’d like, I can help connect you with resources or community forums where cybersecurity professionals discuss industry trends and challenges openly.

    Feel free to reach out if you need more specific guidance or technical assistance.
