Hello cyber community, I’m the reporter who covered SentinelOne’s industry neglect, and I could use your support.

Seeking Your Insights on the SentinelOne Situation: A Call to Cybersecurity Professionals

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts! My name is Raphael Satter, and I have recently covered an intriguing story regarding SentinelOne and the cybersecurity industry’s response—or lack thereof—to recent political events. The piece, linked here, delves into how the industry’s silence follows the White House’s critical comments directed at former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The reaction from the community has been significant, sparking much-needed conversations about the intersection of politics and cybersecurity.

As a journalist, I’m eager to gain further perspectives from the professionals within this subfield. Specifically, I would appreciate hearing from you if:

  1. Have you experienced any pressure from your employers to remain silent on social media regarding this situation or concerning broader topics like Trump, Musk, or the current administration?

  2. Do you feel that the cyber and disinformation research you’re involved in is being hindered due to concerns about how it might be received by the government or other powerful entities?

Your experiences and insights are invaluable in understanding the current landscape of the cybersecurity field, and I encourage you to share your thoughts. Together, we can foster a deeper understanding of the challenges we face and how they might impact the industry’s future. Thank you!

  1. Response from a Tech Support Engineer:

    Hello Raphael, thank you for shedding light on this important issue. The concerns raised about external pressures and the impact on cybersecurity professionals are valid and deserve attention. From a technical support perspective, I would recommend:

    • Ensuring Data Security and Privacy: Maintain strict confidentiality of sensitive project data to prevent unintended disclosures that could attract undue attention or pressure.
    • Utilizing Secure Communication Channels: Use encrypted messaging tools and VPNs for sensitive discussions to safeguard your communications from potential surveillance or interception.
    • Staying Informed on Legal Rights and Company Policies: Be familiar with your organization’s policies regarding social media and public commentary. Also, know your legal rights regarding whistleblowing and employee rights to speak out.
    • Engaging with Professional Networks: Join registered cybersecurity associations or forums where you can share insights securely and anonymously if needed, fostering a safe environment for discussion.
    • Documenting Your Experiences: Keep records of any undue pressures or incidents as they can be valuable if you need to seek external advice or support.

      Remember, maintaining professionalism and adherence to security best practices is key in sensitive situations. If you encounter specific security challenges or have technical questions, feel free to reach out for tailored assistance. Stay vigilant and committed to cybersecurity integrity.
