Cybersecurity industry falls silent as Trump turns ire on SentinelOne
Trump on Wednesday ordered the cancellation of security clearances of SentinelOne executives and employees, part of a campaign to use the might of the U.S. government to crush his political opponents.
The entire security apparatus and the granting of security clearances is no longer solely about protecting necessary secrets (although it is still that), it's also about deciding who is allowed to play the game and who is not. There are a lot of people whose livelihood is entirely based on going where only cleared people are allowed. Who are privy to the secrets of the state. License to make this decision is licence to rule. Absolutely.
This is the very idea of a Deep State.
