SentinelOne remains committed to using its government-granted security clearance to fight against threats to national security and protect government systems.
Cyber security firm SentinelOne has responded to US President Donald Trump’s executive order revoking security clearances from former US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency chief and SentinelOne chief intelligence and public policy officer Chris Krebs and other SentinelOne staff.
Krebs was one of two former government officials targeted by Trump for their criticism of him and his first term in office.
Krebs’ most notable criticism of Trump was in regard to the President’s false claims that the 2020 presidential election was fraud when he lost to former president Joe Biden.
Trump fired Krebs on 17 November 2020, just five days after CISA released a statement calling the election “the most secure in American history.”
In addition, Trump said that the security clearances for SentinelOne workers would also be revoked after a review.
In response, SentinelOne has reaffirmed its dedication to the US government in fighting cyber and national security threats.
“We are a cyber security company – our mission is to defend customers, enterprises, and governments against cyber threats by leveraging the most advanced artificial intelligence,” said SentinelOne.
“We view the White House as a crucial collaborator on that mission, and we will continue to support a strong America at a time of heightened geopolitical threats.”
SentinelOne also specifically referred to the executive order, saying they would co-operate in any investigations by the US government on staff that have security clearance.
“In regard to the Executive Order dated April 9, 2025 focused on Chris Krebs in his prior role as a government employee, we will actively cooperate in any review of security clearances held by any of our personnel – currently less than 10 employees overall and only where required by existing government processes and procedures to secure government systems,” said SentinelOne.
“Accordingly, we do not expect this to materially impact our business in any way.”
