Risky Business #788 -- Trump targets Chris Krebs, SentinelOne
The Trump administration's political targeting of former CISA director Krebs and SentinelOne raises concerns about the independence of US cybersecurity institutions that European partners rely on for threat intelligence.

Editorial Analysis
European enterprises and agencies depend on US threat-intelligence pipelines; politicisation of key institutions could degrade the quality and timeliness of shared intelligence.
Diversify threat-intelligence sources to include EU-based feeds (ENISA, national CERTs) to reduce single-point-of-failure dependency on US programmes.
Political pressure on US cybersecurity leadership may weaken the intelligence-sharing partnerships that underpin European enterprise defences.
