Seeking Your Insights on the SentinelOne Situation: A Call to Cybersecurity Professionals

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts! My name is Raphael Satter, and I have recently covered an intriguing story regarding SentinelOne and the cybersecurity industry’s response—or lack thereof—to recent political events. The piece, linked here, delves into how the industry’s silence follows the White House’s critical comments directed at former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The reaction from the community has been significant, sparking much-needed conversations about the intersection of politics and cybersecurity.

As a journalist, I’m eager to gain further perspectives from the professionals within this subfield. Specifically, I would appreciate hearing from you if:

1. Have you experienced any pressure from your employers to remain silent on social media regarding this situation or concerning broader topics like Trump, Musk, or the current administration?

2. Do you feel that the cyber and disinformation research you’re involved in is being hindered due to concerns about how it might be received by the government or other powerful entities?

Your experiences and insights are invaluable in understanding the current landscape of the cybersecurity field, and I encourage you to share your thoughts. Together, we can foster a deeper understanding of the challenges we face and how they might impact the industry’s future. Thank you!
