    Mean Security
AI Thread Summary
Operational security (OPSEC) refers to the processes and measures taken to protect sensitive information from being accessed by unauthorized individuals. In the context of an internet cafe with public computers, the lack of operational security is evident, as anyone can use these computers, making it easy for malicious actors to intercept data. Public networks are particularly vulnerable to hacking, which contrasts with the more secure internal networks typically provided by companies that implement specific security protocols to safeguard communications. Understanding OPSEC is crucial for maintaining privacy and protecting sensitive information in shared or public environments.

Anyone can access it when you get a cup of coffee.
Such a computer is not operationally secure.

Additionally, you're on a public network where hackers can interfere with what you send an receive.
A company usually provides an internal network with special security checks in place that hackers can't interfere with.
 
Very clear man...Thank you.

I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
