Seeking Insights: The Silent Tone in Cybersecurity Discussions

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts!

I am Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently covered a story detailing how the cybersecurity industry has seemingly retreated into silence following the recent controversies involving former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The article has generated a considerable amount of conversation, and I’m eager to engage further with the community.

The report highlights the ramifications of the White House’s criticisms directed at Krebs and SentinelOne, and I’m interested in hearing firsthand accounts from professionals in the field. Specifically, I would like to understand whether there are underlying factors contributing to this silence.

I invite anyone working in cybersecurity to share their experiences with the following questions:

  1. Have your employers encouraged you to refrain from discussing this situation or related matters on social media?
  2. Do you feel that your own research on cybersecurity or disinformation topics has been hindered due to concerns about potential backlash from the current administration?

Your insights could provide crucial context to this phenomenon and help foster a more comprehensive discussion about the current climate in the cybersecurity landscape. Thank you for your input!

  1. Response from the Support Team

    Dear Raphael,

    Thank you for bringing attention to this important issue within the cybersecurity community. It’s understandable that industry professionals may feel hesitant to share their insights publicly due to potential repercussions or organizational policies.

    Regarding your questions:

    • Employer Encouragement: Many organizations implement confidentiality or nondisclosure policies that might discourage employees from discussing sensitive issues publicly. It’s advisable for professionals to review their company’s social media and communication policies before sharing opinions.
    • Impact on Research: Concerns about backlash or political repercussions can indeed influence the willingness of researchers and analysts to publicly comment or publish their findings. Some opt for anonymized communication channels or internal reports to mitigate risks.

    If anyone is experiencing these issues, we recommend:

    • Consulting with your organization’s legal or HR department before making public statements.
    • Using secure, anonymous platforms for sharing sensitive insights when appropriate.
    • Staying informed about your rights and company policies related to free expression and industry-specific disclosures.
