I'm your host, Allen P. - former Navy aircrew, defense contractor, and cybersecurity professional with over 15 years of international intelligence operations experience. From the back of military aircraft to Intelligence Community-contracted programs, from Cyber Command to corporate security - I've seen what's possible when privacy and security break down. But here's the thing: nobody's coming to save you. The companies won't fix this for you. The government won't protect your privacy. Your security is your responsibility. Every two weeks, we'll dive deep into the world of operational security - not just as a professional practice, but as a way of life. We'll cover signature reduction, security operations, privacy strategies, and the OPSEC mindset that can protect you whether you're an intelligence professional, a corporate analyst, or someone who simply values their privacy and security. From digital tools and daily carry items to situational awareness and travel security - this is practical, actionable intelligence you can use today.

Steps to audit your social media exposure: 1. Make a full list of every social-media profile or public/social online account you’ve ever created (active or dormant). Include mainstream platforms and smaller/less-used ones. 2. Visit each account and carefully examine what can be seen publicly: profile pictures, bio information (name, location, birthdate, contact info), past posts, comments, photos, tags, friend lists. 3. Adjust privacy and visibility settings on each account so that only trusted contacts (friends/followers) can see sensitive content. Delete, lock down or hide: personal details, contact info, location data, old posts. 4. Remove or deactivate any accounts you no longer use, or that you don’t want publicly visible. Dormant accounts may still leak personal data. 5. Scan for “people-search” or public-record sites listing you (or old usernames/email) check what information about you is exposed outside social media. 6. Periodically repeat the audit (every 3–6 months) privacy settings and platform defaults can change; content from connections (tags, shares) or old posts may re-expose you. Hosted on Acast.
