SUMMARY

Operational security (OPSEC) refers to the processes and measures taken to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, particularly in environments like public internet cafes. In such settings, public computers lack the necessary security protocols, making them vulnerable to hackers. In contrast, a company's internal network implements specific security checks to safeguard data transmission and prevent interference from malicious actors.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic cybersecurity principles
  • Familiarity with network security protocols
  • Knowledge of data protection measures
  • Awareness of public versus private network risks
NEXT STEPS
  • Research best practices for implementing operational security in public spaces
  • Learn about network segmentation and its role in enhancing security
  • Explore tools for monitoring and securing public Wi-Fi networks
  • Study the principles of data encryption and secure communication
USEFUL FOR

Cybersecurity professionals, IT administrators, and anyone responsible for safeguarding sensitive information in public or shared environments.

A company usually provides an internal network with special security checks in place that hackers can't interfere with.
 
Very clear man...Thank you.
 

Thread 'Use of AI (ML/DL) in Science'

We have many threads on AI, which are mostly AI/LLM, e.g,. ChatGPT, Claude, etc. It is important to draw a distinction between AI/LLM and AI/ML/DL, where ML - Machine Learning and DL = Deep Learning. AI is a broad technology; the AI/ML/DL is being developed to handle large data sets, and even seemingly disparate datasets to rapidly evaluated the data and determine the quantitative relationships in order to understand what those relationships (about the variaboles) mean.
