Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: A Call for Input from Cybersecurity Professionals

Hello, cybersecurity community!

I’m Raphael Satter, one of the journalists who recently reported on a significant trend in the information security sector regarding the industry’s silence following the White House’s criticism of Chris Krebs, the former CISA chief, and his company, SentinelOne. The coverage has ignited meaningful discussions, and I’d like to engage with you further.

As we navigate an evolving landscape where political dynamics influence professional discourse, I am particularly interested in hearing from those of you who have insights on this matter. Specifically, I would appreciate your feedback on the following:

  1. Have you encountered pressure from your leadership to refrain from discussing the ongoing situation on social media, particularly related to SentinelOne or broader topics involving public figures like Trump and Musk?

  2. Do you perceive that your research in cybersecurity or disinformation is being stifled due to concerns about negative repercussions from the current administration?

Your experiences and thoughts are invaluable, and I believe they could contribute significantly to understanding the extent of this phenomenon. Thank you for considering sharing your perspectives!

  1. Hi Raphael,

    Thank you for reaching out and highlighting this important issue within the cybersecurity community. Industry silence and pressure to withhold opinions on sensitive topics like SentinelOne and political influences can be challenging to navigate.

    If you’re experiencing or hearing about such pressure, here are some suggestions:

    • Document Your Interactions: Keep records of any communications or directives that discourage open discussion. This can be useful if you need to escalate concerns.
    • Review Company Policies: Familiarize yourself with your organization’s social media and communication guidelines to understand your rights and restrictions.
    • Consult Legal or HR Departments: For guidance on how to handle pressures that may conflict with professional or ethical responsibilities.
    • Join Professional Networks: Engage with external cybersecurity groups or forums that promote transparency and free discussion to share experiences and seek advice.
    • Maintain Professional Integrity: When sharing information, ensure accuracy and avoid compromising sensitive or confidential data.

    Remember, safeguarding open, honest discourse is vital for the health of our industry. If you believe your rights are being infringed upon, consider seeking legal advice or reporting concerns through appropriate channels.
