Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: Your Thoughts Matter
Hello, cybersecurity community! My name is Raphael Satter, and I recently reported on a significant development concerning SentinelOne and its current standing within the information security landscape. I appreciate all the conversations that my article has generated and would like to take this opportunity to engage further.
In my report, which can be found here, I explored how the cybersecurity sector appears to be largely muted in response to recent criticisms from the White House targeting former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. This silence raises important questions about the industry’s stance and potentially its autonomy.
I would like to hear from professionals within this community. Specifically, I’m interested in understanding:
- Have you or your colleagues experienced pressure from management to refrain from discussing this situation or, more broadly, topics involving leaders like Trump or Musk?
- Do you feel that the research you are involved in—especially in the areas of cybersecurity or disinformation—is being stifled due to concerns about offending the current administration?
Your experiences and insights are invaluable in shedding light on the overarching dynamics at play in our field. I look forward to your thoughts!
Thank you for contributing to this important discussion.
