Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: A Call for Conversations

Hello, cybersecurity community! My name is Raphael Satter, and I recently co-authored an article highlighting an intriguing shift within the information security landscape. The piece discusses how the industry has largely remained silent following heightened scrutiny from the White House, specifically targeting former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne.

This topic has generated considerable dialogue, and I’m reaching out to gather additional perspectives from professionals in our field. I’d like to know:

• Have you or your colleagues noticed any pressure from your superiors to remain reticent on social media regarding this situation, or more broadly about figures such as Trump, Musk, or the current administration?
• Do you believe that any of your research in cybersecurity or misinformation is being hindered due to concerns about potential repercussions from the government?

Your insights would be invaluable as we dive deeper into this critical issue affecting our industry. Thank you for your time and contributions to this vital conversation!
