Seeking Insights: The Cybersecurity Industry’s Response to Political Pressures
Greetings to the cybersecurity community!
I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently explored a concerning trend in the information security sector, particularly in light of the White House’s criticism of Chris Krebs, former chief of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and his company, SentinelOne. You can read the article here.
The reactions to this piece have been fascinating, and it’s led me to seek further insights from professionals within this community. I’m particularly interested in understanding two key areas:
-
Silence on Social Media: Have any of you experienced pressure from your employers to refrain from discussing this incident or the actions of notable figures like Trump and Musk on social media platforms?
-
Research Suppression: Are you concerned that any cybersecurity or disinformation research you’re conducting is being sidelined out of fear of potential repercussions from the current administration?
Your experiences and insights would be invaluable as they contribute to a broader understanding of how political dynamics are influencing the cybersecurity landscape. Thank you for your time and contributions to this important discussion!
