The recent resignation of Christopher Krebs from SentinelOne $S has once again highlighted how deeply political tensions can impact private companies and the broader cybersecurity sector. Although Krebs personally communicated that his departure was driven by individual motives, the reality—stemming from pressure by the U.S. administration—emphasizes how vulnerable companies are to external political forces.

The cybersecurity industry recently faced significant upheaval following a blunt decision by President Donald Trump. The order to revoke security clearances for key executives and staff at SentinelOne has added a layer of uncertainty, aligning with Trump's persistent campaign against political opponents.
