Seeking Insights from the Cybersecurity Community: A Call for Input

Greetings, dedicated cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts. My name is Raphael Satter, and I recently authored a compelling piece on the shifting dynamics within the information security industry, particularly in light of recent political tensions.

My report examined how the cybersecurity sector has seemingly retreated from public discourse following the White House’s criticisms aimed at former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his organization, SentinelOne. The article ignited meaningful conversations, and I am eager to expand that dialogue further.

I kindly invite members of this community to share their experiences regarding the current atmosphere in the cyber realm. Specifically, I am interested in understanding whether:

1. Your workplace has encouraged or mandated silence on social media regarding this matter—or more broadly, on topics related to prominent figures like Trump or Musk and their influence on the new administration.

2. You suspect that any work around cybersecurity or disinformation you’re involved in is being stifled due to apprehensions about dissenting with the administration’s narrative.

Your insights will be invaluable as I seek to grasp the broader implications of this situation and its impact on the industry. Thank you for considering contributing to this important discussion!
