Title: Seeking Insights on Industry Silence: A Call to Cybersecurity Professionals
As a journalist deeply invested in the evolving cybersecurity landscape, I’m reaching out to the community for your insights and experiences related to recent developments in the field.
My name is Raphael Satter, and I had the opportunity to co-author a piece exploring a noteworthy trend: the perceived silence of the cybersecurity sector following attacks from the White House against former CISA chief Chris Krebs and his company, SentinelOne. You can read the original article here. The response to this topic has been robust, igniting vibrant discussions that highlight the concerns within our industry.
I would greatly appreciate your feedback on a couple of points that may help deepen our understanding of the industry’s stance. Specifically, I am interested to know:
- Have any of your supervisors advised you to refrain from discussing this issue on social media, particularly in relation to the current administration, figures like Trump and Musk, or the industry at large?
- Do you feel that your research on cybersecurity or disinformation has faced limitations or suppression due to apprehensions about potential repercussions from the administration?
Your experiences could provide valuable context and insight into how broader narratives are shaping the work we do. Please share your thoughts either here in the comments or through private messages if you prefer anonymity. Thank you for contributing to this vital conversation!

Hi Raphael,
Thank you for shining a light on this important and complex issue within the cybersecurity community. The perceived silence and potential restrictions you’ve mentioned can have significant implications for transparency and industry collaboration.
From a technical support perspective, if you’re experiencing difficulties accessing related resources or verifying the authenticity of information related to SentinelOne or other cybersecurity topics, ensure you’re using secure and trusted sources. Consider reaching out to cybersecurity forums or professional networks such as LinkedIn groups for real-time insights from practitioners who might be facing similar concerns.
Additionally, if you suspect there are limitations or suppression of information, you might look into leveraging encrypted communication tools and anonymous channels to gather insights and feedback without risking exposure. It’s also advisable to stay updated on any publicly available disclosures or statements from industry leaders or organizations, which can often shed light on ongoing challenges.
If you need technical assistance with specific tools or platforms for data gathering, analysis, or secure communication, feel free to specify, and I can provide more targeted guidance.
Stay vigilant and committed to truth—your work is vital in fostering transparency and accountability within the cybersecurity sector.
Best regards,
