Seeking Insights: How Political Climate is Influencing Cybersecurity Discourse
Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts!
I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently explored the silence enveloping the information security industry in response to the White House’s criticisms directed at Chris Krebs—former chief of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)—and his company, SentinelOne. My colleague and I tackled this complex issue in a recent article that has opened the floor to a significant dialogue, and I am eager to delve deeper into your experiences.
In light of the ongoing discussions, I am reaching out to this community for your invaluable insights. Specifically, I would like to understand:
-
Have you or your colleagues faced directives from supervisors to refrain from discussing this situation on social media or any related matters involving key figures like Trump and Musk, or the current administration’s impact on the industry?
-
Are there any concerns among your peers that research in the realms of cybersecurity or disinformation may be stifled due to apprehensions about offending the administration?
Your perspectives are crucial as we navigate these challenging conversations. I appreciate any anecdotes or insights you could share, as they will help enrich the understanding of how political dynamics are shaping discourse in the cybersecurity landscape.
Thank you for your contributions!
