Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: A Call for Perspective from Cybersecurity Professionals
Hello, cybersecurity community,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Raphael Satter, and I’m one of the journalists who recently covered a significant story regarding the perceived silence within the cybersecurity sector in light of the current political climate. I invite you to contribute your thoughts and insights on this matter.
In my article, I explored how the industry appears to have gone silent following public criticism from the White House directed at former CISA director Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. The response to this piece has been quite noteworthy, as it has ignited a broader conversation about the relationship between cybersecurity professionals and political influences.
I am particularly interested in gathering input from individuals working in this field. It would be incredibly valuable to know if you have experienced any pressure from your superiors to remain silent about this issue or related matters concerning the new administration, high-profile figures like Trump and Musk, or any associated discussions on social media.
Additionally, I would like to understand whether you feel that your research in cybersecurity or misinformation is being hindered due to apprehension about potential repercussions for crossing the administration.
Your insights could be an essential addition to the ongoing dialogue about the intersection of cybersecurity, politics, and free expression. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts on this pressing issue!
