@adulau@infosec.exchange @jtk@infosec.exchange An important and for me, concerning topic. I do think though that we should refrain from confusing the current US administration with the us security community I admit some members from our community support the US administration, strange as it may seem. To some extent more concerning to me is the feeling that our community has started to fragment way earlier. We stoped talking across borders (when was the last time you had a meaningful conversation with a Chinese team) and that's not only because of sanctions. National csirts seem to disengage, and the teams from big tech no longer participate. Of course this is not absolute, there are exceptions. So our challenge seems twofold: Ensure the community is global and inclusive, and ensure we operate outside politics. And this implies working with folks you may not particularly like. This is a difficult conversation, but one we need to have.

    @sergedroz@infosec.exchange I agree with your analysis. When a network of security professionals becomes little more than a directory of contacts, we’ve lost the purpose: building projects together and improving security. I’ve seen this happen gradually, as commercialization has reshaped many services in cybersecurity and common bonding points have faded, leaving fewer spaces where trust and collaboration can grow organically. @jtk@infosec.exchange
