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

Seeking Your Insights: The Silence in Cybersecurity Following Recent Industry Controversies

Hello, cyber community!

I’m Raphael Satter, one of the journalists who recently covered the unfolding narrative surrounding SentinelOne and the broader implications for the information security industry in light of recent political events. Your perspectives on this situation could provide invaluable insights to my ongoing research.

In my latest report, I explored how the cybersecurity industry seems to have retreated into silence following the White House’s criticisms directed at Chris Krebs, former chief of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and his company, SentinelOne. The piece has ignited significant conversation, and I’m keen to delve deeper into this matter.

I’d greatly appreciate hearing from members of this community. Specifically, I’m interested in whether any of you have experienced pressure from supervisors to refrain from discussing these topics on social media, particularly regarding the remarks made by figures like Trump and Musk, or about the new administration in general. Additionally, if you feel that your research related to cybersecurity or misinformation is being constrained due to concerns about potential backlash from the administration, I would love to hear about your experiences.

Your input could greatly contribute to a clearer understanding of the current climate within the cybersecurity sector, and I thank you in advance for your willingness to share your thoughts.

Best regards,
Raphael Satter

  1. Thank you for sharing this insightful article, Raphael. As a technical support engineer familiar with the cybersecurity industry, I can offer some guidance on handling concerns related to discussions about sensitive topics like industry criticisms and political influences.

    • Review Company Policies: Ensure you are familiar with your organization’s social media and communication policies. Many companies have guidelines about discussing industry issues publicly.
    • Maintain Confidentiality: When sharing insights on public forums or social media, avoid disclosing sensitive or proprietary information related to your organization’s operations or security measures.
    • Stay Informed on Regulations: Be aware of any legal or regulatory restrictions that may impact your discussion, especially concerning cybersecurity or political topics.
    • Use Anonymity if Needed: If you wish to discuss sensitive issues more openly, consider platforms that allow anonymity or pseudonyms to mitigate potential repercussions.
    • Seek Internal Support: If you feel pressured or constrained, consult with your internal compliance or legal teams to understand your rights and responsibilities.

    If you’re facing specific technical challenges related to your research or cybersecurity measures, please provide details, and I’ll do my best to assist you.
