Call for Insights: The Cybersecurity Industry’s Response to Recent Developments
Hello everyone,
I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently reported on an intriguing shift within the cybersecurity landscape following some significant political events. My story, which you can find here, explores how the information security sector seems to have entered a period of silence after the White House’s criticisms of Chris Krebs, a former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and his company, SentinelOne. The response to the piece has been quite illuminating, fostering a vibrant discussion within the community.
I’m reaching out to gather more perspectives from cybersecurity professionals regarding this matter. Specifically, I am interested in understanding two key areas:
-
Have you been advised by your superiors to refrain from discussing this situation—either about SentinelOne or the broader implications involving figures such as Trump and Musk, or even the new administration as a whole?
-
Do you feel that the projects or research you are involved in—particularly those related to cybersecurity or disinformation—are being held back due to concerns about potential backlash from the current administration?
Your insights are invaluable, and they can greatly contribute to understanding the current environment in the cybersecurity field. Please feel free to share your experiences, whether publicly or anonymously, as they can help shed light on this pressing issue. Thank you for your time and contributions!
Best,
Raphael Satter
