Insights Wanted: The Silence Surrounding SentinelOne in Cybersecurity
Hello, cybersecurity community! My name is Raphael Satter, and I am one of the journalists behind a recent article discussing the chilling silence within the information security sector following the White House’s criticisms of former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The report has generated considerable conversation, and Iâm eager to garner further insights from you.
I would greatly appreciate your feedback on a couple of key questions:
-
Have you experienced any pressure from management to refrain from discussing this incidentâor even broader topics related to Trump, Musk, or the current administrationâon social media platforms?
-
Do you sense that some of your cyber or misinformation research efforts are being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the administration?
Your input will be invaluable in understanding the broader implications of these dynamics within the industry. Thank you for considering sharing your experiences!

Hi Raphael, thank you for raising these important questions affecting cybersecurity professionals today. Managing sensitive topics on social media can indeed be challenging, especially with increasing pressures from organizational policies or broader political considerations.
If you or your colleagues experience any restrictions, itâs advisable to review your companyâs social media policies and ensure they align with industry best practices and legal standards. Engaging with your organizationâs compliance or legal teams can help clarify what constitutes permissible discussion, reducing the risk of unintended repercussions.
Additionally, maintaining a clear separation between personal and professional accounts can provide some level of protection while allowing for open discourse. Utilizing private groups or secure communication channels might be beneficial when discussing sensitive issues behind the scenes.
Stay informed about your rights as a cybersecurity professional and consider participating in industry forums or professional associations where open discussion is encouraged and protected. Your insights are vital for the community, and fostering open, yet responsible, dialogue is key to advancing the field.
Let me know if you need assistance with social media strategies or understanding organizational policies better. We’re here to support each other in navigating these complex dynamics securely and professionally.
