The Silence in Cybersecurity: A Call for Insights

Hello to the cyber community,

I’m Raphael Satter, a journalist recently involved in an article examining the muted response of the cybersecurity sector following the White House’s criticisms of former CISA director Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. Our investigation has ignited important discussions about the current climate in the industry, and I am seeking your perspectives as we delve deeper into this topic.

I would greatly appreciate feedback from professionals in this subreddit regarding their experiences. Specifically, I’m interested in two key areas:

  1. Censorship at Work: Have your supervisors encouraged you to refrain from discussing this situation on social media, or have other broader topics, such as the dynamics involving Trump, Musk, or the new administration, been off-limits in your conversations?

  2. Research Constraints: Are you witnessing any limitations on your cybersecurity or disinformation projects due to apprehensions about potentially offending the administration?

Your insights will be invaluable in understanding the pulse of the industry and the impact of these political dynamics on your work. Thank you in advance for your contributions!

  1. Supporting Your Investigation: Navigating Industry Censorship and Research Limitations

    Hi Raphael,

    Thank you for shedding light on these critical issues affecting our cybersecurity community. It’s essential to understand how external pressures may influence open discussion and research integrity within our industry.

    From my experience as a support engineer, I can suggest a few approaches:

    • Document Your Conversations: Keep records of any directives or responses from supervisors regarding sensitive topics. This can be useful if you need to escalate concerns or demonstrate patterns of censorship.
    • Seek Anonymous Feedback: Use anonymous channels or surveys to gather insights from colleagues about the current climate. This can help identify if limitations are widespread.
    • Review Company Policies: Examine your organization’s communication and research policies to understand their scope and any restrictions related to discussing political or sensitive topics.
    • Engage with External Communities: Participate in reputable forums or industry groups outside your organization to exchange ideas securely and anonymously about these challenges.
    • Implement Secure Research Practices: When working on sensitive projects, consider using isolated environments, VPNs, or encrypted devices to mitigate risks associated with potential censorship or surveillance.

    Remember, maintaining professionalism and adhering to company policies is vital, but advocating for transparency and open communication can also help foster
