Title: Seeking Insights on the Cybersecurity Industry’s Reaction to Political Shifts
Hello, cybersecurity community!
I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist who recently covered the silence surrounding SentinelOne amid political tensions. My article highlights the unsettling response from the information security sector following the White House’s controversial remarks about former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The piece has ignited considerable conversation, and I am eager to delve deeper into the industry’s sentiments.
I would appreciate your insights on the current climate within the cybersecurity realm. Specifically, I’m interested in learning whether anyone has been encouraged by their supervisors to refrain from discussing this matter—or related topics involving figures like Trump, Musk, or the new administration—on social media. Additionally, I’d like to understand if there’s a perception of suppression when it comes to cybersecurity or disinformation research projects due to concerns about crossing the current administration.
Your perspectives will be invaluable as we continue to explore the intersection of cybersecurity and politics. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts!
