Navigating Silence in Cybersecurity: A Call for Insights
Hello, fellow cybersecurity enthusiasts. My name is Raphael Satter, and I recently collaborated with a colleague to shed light on a pertinent issue within our industry—the reticence shown by cybersecurity professionals following recent criticisms leveled at SentinelOne and its former CISA chief, Chris Krebs.

Your contributions will provide valuable context and help foster a more comprehensive understanding of the industry’s landscape during these times. Thank you for considering sharing your experiences.
