I understand everything except operational security. What is that trying to say?

Consider for instance an internet cafe with public computers.
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.
