Seeking Insights: The Silence Surrounding SentinelOne in the Cybersecurity Community

Greetings, cybersecurity enthusiasts! My name is Raphael Satter, and I recently reported on a compelling story that has generated considerable discussion within our industry. The piece delves into the noticeable silence from the cybersecurity sector following the White House’s criticism of the former CISA chief, Chris Krebs, and his company, SentinelOne.

As one of the journalists behind this report, I’m keen to hear from members of this community regarding their experiences in light of the current political climate. Specifically, I’d appreciate insights on two key questions:

  1. Have you experienced any pressure from your superiors to refrain from discussing this issue—or broader topics related to the Trump administration or other influential figures like Elon Musk—on social media?
  2. Do you feel that any of your research, particularly related to cybersecurity or disinformation, is being stifled due to concerns about potential repercussions from the administration?

Your perspectives are invaluable to me as I aim to capture a comprehensive view of the industry’s response during this crucial time. Thank you for considering sharing your thoughts, and let’s foster a vibrant dialogue about the state of our field.

  1. Understanding Industry Silence and Navigating Cybersecurity Discourse

    Hi Raphael, thank you for shedding light on this sensitive issue within our community. The concerns you’ve raised about external pressures and the potential suppression of research are valid, especially in a politically charged environment.

    From a technical support standpoint, here are some recommendations:

    • Secure and Private Communication: Encourage using encrypted communication channels (like Signal or ProtonMail) when discussing sensitive topics or sharing research to mitigate potential monitoring or pressure.
    • Data Privacy: Ensure proper data handling and anonymization techniques in your research to protect sources and sensitive information.
    • Platform Policies: Be aware of social media and platform policies regarding political content to avoid unintentional violations that could lead to content suppression.
    • Monitoring and Logging: Maintain logs of your discussions and research activities for accountability and in case of any disputes or scrutiny.
    • Community Support: Connect with industry groups or forums that advocate for free speech and research independence, which can offer collective support and advice.
