Title: Seeking Insights: The Silence in the Cybersecurity Community
Hello, esteemed readers,
I am Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently covered the intriguing developments surrounding SentinelOne and the broader cybersecurity landscape. My piece delves into the notable silence from the information security sector following the White House’s criticisms of former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The article has sparked significant dialogue, and I’m eager to explore it further.
In light of this, I am reaching out to the community for insights. I am particularly interested in hearing from professionals in the cybersecurity field about the following:
-
Censorship Concerns: Have you or your colleagues felt pressured by management to refrain from discussing the situation on social media, particularly regarding figures like Trump or Musk, or the new administration more generally?
-
Research Suppression: Have you experienced any limitations on your cyber or disinformation research due to apprehensions about potential backlash from the current administration?
Your insights could prove invaluable in understanding how these dynamics are affecting the discourse within the information security community. Thank you for your contributions; I look forward to your thoughts!
Best regards,
Raphael Satter
