Seeking Insights: The Silence Surrounding SentinelOne and Industry Response

Hello, cybersecurity community,

I’m Raphael Satter, one of the journalists behind a recent article detailing the unusual silence from the cybersecurity industry regarding SentinelOne and the recent comments made by the White House targeting Chris Krebs, the company’s former chief and former CISA director. The discussion this piece has generated has been both enlightening and concerning.

I am reaching out to gather perspectives from professionals within the industry who might have faced pressures regarding public discourse on social media—specifically related to SentinelOne, but also in the broader context of political figures like Trump and Musk, or the current administration.

Your insights would be invaluable. I’m particularly interested in understanding whether:

  1. Any of you have experienced direct instructions from your employers to refrain from commenting on these developments online.
  2. There is a sense that your cybersecurity or misinformation research is being stifled out of concern for governmental repercussions.

Your experiences and thoughts would contribute significantly to our understanding of how political dynamics are influencing discourse and research in the cybersecurity sector. Thank you for your willingness to share your perspectives.

  1. Support and Insights for Cybersecurity Professionals

    Hello Raphael,

    Thank you for reaching out and highlighting the important issues affecting cybersecurity professionals today. The silence and potential restrictions around discussing sensitive topics like SentinelOne and political figures are indeed concerning and can impact transparency and collaboration within the industry.

    As a technical support engineer, I recommend considering the following steps:

    • Document Your Communications: Keep records of any instructions from your employer regarding social media or public comments. This documentation can be useful if questions or concerns arise later.
    • Review Company Policies: Familiarize yourself with your organization’s policies on public disclosures and social media engagement to understand the boundaries and obligations.
    • Anonymous or Pseudonymous Discourse: If appropriate, consider participating in discussions under pseudonyms or within secure, private channels to share insights without direct repercussions.
    • Legal and Ethical Considerations: Seek guidance from your legal department or compliance team about discussing sensitive topics, ensuring you remain within legal boundaries.
    • Identify Trusted Industry Networks: Engage with professional groups or forums that prioritize confidentiality and support open dialogue among cybersecurity peers.
