Seeking Insights: The Response of the Cybersecurity Community to Political Pressure

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts,

I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently explored an intriguing narrative surrounding SentinelOne and the muted response of the cybersecurity industry in light of recent geopolitical developments. If you’re interested in contributing to this important conversation, I would appreciate your input.

In my latest article, I delved into how the cybersecurity sector has largely retreated into silence following the White House’s criticism of former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his organization, SentinelOne. The piece has since ignited significant dialogue, revealing the complexities of how political dynamics can influence professional discourse within our field.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from industry professionals about their experiences. Specifically, I’d like to know if:

1. Your management has encouraged you to limit your social media commentary regarding this situation or broader topics involving notable figures such as Trump or Musk.
2. You perceive any hesitation in sharing your research on cyber threats or disinformation due to concerns about potential repercussions from the current administration.

Your insights could present a clearer picture of the impact political pressures are having on discourse within the cybersecurity realm. Thank you for considering sharing your perspectives!
