Hello cybersecurity community, I’m the reporter who covered SentinelOne’s industry neglect and I’m seeking your support.

Title: Seeking Insights: The Quiet Response of the Cybersecurity Industry Amid Political Tensions

Hello, cybersecurity community!

I am Raphael Satter, one of the journalists who recently covered an intriguing shift in the cybersecurity landscape regarding SentinelOne and the broader implications of political discourse on our industry. In my latest article, I delve into how the information security sector has seemingly adopted a muted stance following the White House’s criticisms directed at former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The reactions to this piece have sparked considerable conversations, and I am eager to gather further insights from you.

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on a couple of pivotal questions:

  1. Have any of your employers encouraged you to refrain from discussing the recent events surrounding SentinelOne—or even topics related to prominent figures like Trump and Musk—on social media?

  2. Do you sense that any cybersecurity or disinformation research you’ve been pursuing is being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the current administration?

Your experiences and perspectives are invaluable, and I encourage you to share them. Let’s explore how these dynamics are affecting our field and what it means for the future of cybersecurity discourse. Thank you for your contributions!

Document any instances where discussions or publications were delayed, altered, or withheld, and consider reaching out directly to industry professionals for insights.
    • Security & Disinformation Focus: Keep an eye on emerging trends, but remain aware of potential political pressures that could influence the dissemination of research findings. Maintaining transparency and establishing trusted channels for information sharing can help counteract unintended self-c
