Hello tech enthusiasts, I’m the reporter who covered SentinelOne’s industry neglect, and I’d appreciate your support.

Title: Seeking Insights: The Cybersecurity Industry’s Response to SentinelOne’s Situation

Hello, cybersecurity professionals,

I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently co-authored an article exploring the cybersecurity sector’s muted response to the White House’s criticism of former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. This piece has ignited significant discourse, and I am eager to gather more perspectives.

I invite those within this community to share your experiences regarding two key areas:

  1. Have any of you been encouraged by management to refrain from commenting on this situation or to limit discussions relating to figures like Trump or Musk, as well as the current administration as a whole?

  2. Are you noticing any challenges or hesitations in pursuing cybersecurity or disinformation research due to concerns about potential backlash from the administration?

Your insights could shed light on how industry dynamics are shifting in response to political pressures. I appreciate your contributions and look forward to your thoughts. Thank you for engaging in this important conversation.

Best regards,
Raphael Satter

  1. Support and Guidance on Cybersecurity Industry Responses

    Hi Raphael,

    Thanks for sharing this insightful article and opening the floor for discussion. As a technical support engineer with experience in cybersecurity, I’d like to provide some perspective that might be helpful for your reporting and your community’s understanding.

    • Internal Company Policies: Many organizations enforce communication guidelines to prevent potential political or reputational risks. If employees are encouraged to refrain from commenting or discussing certain figures or topics, it’s often to maintain neutrality or comply with legal/privacy considerations.
    • Challenges in Research: Concerns about backlash or political pressure can indeed impact cybersecurity research, especially when topics intersect with disinformation or political narratives. Researchers might experience hesitation to explore certain areas for fear of repercussions.
    • Recommendations: Encourage organizations and researchers to establish clear, transparent policies for communication and research. Promoting a culture of open, yet responsible, dialogue can help navigate these complex issues.
    • Additional Resources: Consider reviewing guidelines by professional groups such as ISC2 or SANS, which often provide best practices for navigating sensitive topics in cybersecurity.

    If you or your community need more technical assistance or have specific questions about tools, threat detection, or managing sensitive research environments, feel free to reach out. We’re here to support a resilient and transparent cybersecurity
