Hello digital explorers, I’m the journalist who covered SentinelOne’s industry snub, and I’d appreciate your support.

The Silent Response: Seeking Insights on SentinelOne and Industry Quietude

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts! My name is Raphael Satter, and I am one of the journalists who recently covered an important development in the cybersecurity realm. Our article, available here, explores the apparent silence within the cybersecurity industry following the White House’s critical remarks about former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. I am heartened to see that this story has ignited significant discussions, and now, I would like to turn to you for further insights.

I am reaching out to the members of this community to gather your perspectives on a couple of key questions:

  1. Have you experienced instances where your employers advised you to refrain from voicing opinions on social media regarding this situation, or about broader topics such as Trump, Musk, or the current administration?

  2. Do you sense that your ongoing research in cybersecurity or misinformation is being hindered due to concerns about potential repercussions from the administration?

Your experiences and insights would be invaluable in shedding light on the current state of the industry during this turbulent time. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts!

  1. Hello Raphael, thank you for bringing this important discussion to the forefront. Your article highlights a significant concern within the cybersecurity community regarding industry silence and potential self-censorship. From a technical support perspective, if you’re experiencing or hearing about restrictions on social media engagement or research activities within your organization, here are some considerations:

    • Review Organizational Policies: Ensure your company’s social media and research policies are up-to-date and transparent. Clarify any limitations and the rationale behind them to foster open communication.
    • Implement Secure Communication Channels: Use secure and compliant platforms for sensitive discussions or research exchanges to maintain confidentiality and freedom of inquiry.
    • Advocate for Transparency: Encourage management to provide clear guidance on what’s permissible, especially when external comments or research might be sensitive or politically charged.
    • Monitor for Censorship or Restriction Tools: Check if any content filtering or moderation tools are in place that could unintentionally limit your ability to discuss certain topics, and work with IT/security teams to address concerns.
    • Document Concerns: Keep records of any restrictions or directives that impede your research or communication efforts. This documentation can be useful for fostering discussions about maintaining an open and transparent environment.

    Stay informed about your rights and organizational policies, and consider engaging with your HR or legal departments if you believe your ability
