Seeking Insights: The Silence of the Cybersecurity Industry

Greetings, cybersecurity enthusiasts! My name is Raphael Satter, and I am one of the journalists who recently reported on the intriguing dynamics within the cybersecurity sector in light of industry reactions to the White House’s criticisms of Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. If you’re interested, you can explore the full story here.

In the wake of the controversy, I’ve noticed that this topic has ignited considerable conversations, and I would like to invite members of this community to lend their voices to the discussion.

I’m particularly interested in hearing your experiences regarding the following points:

1. Have you received any directives from your employers to refrain from discussing this matter on social media, or perhaps about the broader landscape involving figures such as Trump, Musk, and the current administration?

2. Do you feel that your research in cybersecurity or disinformation is being stifled due to fears of repercussions from the administration?

Your insights are invaluable, and together we can shed light on the current atmosphere within our industry. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts!
