Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: Your Experience Matters

Hello fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts,

I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently reported on an intriguing development in the cybersecurity sector regarding SentinelOne and its relationship with the industry at large. My investigation delves into the silence surrounding the repercussions of the White House’s critical remarks directed at former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The article has stirred considerable conversation, and I appreciate the engagement it has generated.

As I continue to explore this topic, I invite individuals within this community to share their insights. Specifically, I would like to hear about your experiences related to the following questions:

1. Have you or your colleagues been instructed to refrain from discussing this situation on social media, particularly concerning the reactions of political figures such as Trump or Musk, or the current administration as a whole?

2. Do you feel that any research or work you are involved in related to cybersecurity or misinformation is being hindered due to concerns about potential backlash from the administration?

Your thoughts and experiences could shed important light on the dynamics at play within our industry during this critical time. Thank you for considering sharing your perspective!
