Hello cybersecurity enthusiasts, I’m the reporter who covered SentinelOne’s industry snub recently and could use your support.

Seeking Insights: The Silence of the Cybersecurity Industry

Hello cybersecurity enthusiasts,

I’m Raphael Satter, one of the journalists behind a recent investigation that examines the unsettling silence in the cybersecurity industry following the White House’s criticisms of former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his organization, SentinelOne. The report has generated considerable dialogue, and I appreciate all the engagement it has received.

As I continue to delve deeper into this topic, I am reaching out to gather insights from professionals within the community. I would like to know if you’ve experienced any pressure from your employers to remain silent on social media regarding this situation, or on broader issues concerning prominent figures such as Trump or Musk, or the current administration as a whole.

Additionally, I am curious to learn if you believe that your ongoing research in cybersecurity or misinformation has been stifled due to concerns over potential repercussions from the administration. Your perspectives could greatly enhance the understanding of this complex issue and contribute to the broader narrative on the challenges faced by the cybersecurity sector today.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
