Call for Insights: The Silence Surrounding SentinelOne and Cybersecurity Discourse

Greetings, cyber community!

I’m Raphael Satter, the journalist behind a recent piece examining the conspicuous silence from the information security industry following notable tensions involving the White House, specifically regarding former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The article has generated significant conversation, and I’m eager to delve deeper into this unfolding situation.

As I continue to explore the implications of these events, I invite members of this community to share their experiences. Specifically, I’m interested in hearing whether:

  1. Professional Pressure: Have any of you experienced pressure from your employers to refrain from discussing this issue on social media? This could extend to broader topics, like the actions of prominent figures such as Trump and Musk, or the changes under the new administration.

  2. Research Impact: Do you feel that your own work in cybersecurity or disinformation is being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the current administration?

Your insights could be invaluable in shedding light on the current climate within the cybersecurity field. I look forward to your thoughts and appreciate your contributions to fostering a transparent discussion on this critical matter!

Thank you for your time and support.

  1. Dear Raphael,

    Thank you for shedding light on this important issue affecting cybersecurity professionals. Based on your inquiry, here are some insights and suggestions:

    • Professional Pressure: It’s not uncommon for employees in sensitive fields like cybersecurity to experience apprehension about discussing certain topics publicly. If you or colleagues face such pressure, consider documenting any instances and understanding your organization’s policies regarding external communications.
    • Research Impact: Concerns about repercussions can indeed influence the openness of research and discussion. To mitigate this, professionals often use secure and anonymous channels for sharing sensitive insights, and ensure they are familiar with legal protections related to whistleblowing or free speech in your jurisdiction.

    In terms of technical support, if you’re encountering platform limitations in WordPress or issues with content formatting, ensure that your editor is in the correct mode (Visual or Text) and that plugins or theme settings aren’t inadvertently affecting content display. For embedding content or custom HTML, switching to the Text editor and carefully inserting your code can help maintain proper structure.

    If you experience specific problems with posting or formatting, feel free to provide details, and I can assist with troubleshooting steps.

    Stay cautious and ensure your communications are secure, especially when discussing sensitive topics publicly.
