Read articles from the most trusted peer resource in the protection world. Written by operators for operators who speak your language.
It often comes as a surprise just how much is available and the nefarious uses it can be put to. OSINT can be applied towards defensive purposes, but this article will only be covering the malicious purposes (i.e. how a bad guy might get access to your client’s sensitive information and data).
One of the biggest challenges of OSINT is not merely recognising it as a threat, but encouraging the behavioural change needed to protect against it widely enough. It is not simply enough for a principal to stop posting Instagram pictures of their travels in order to hide them. Their colleagues, friends, family, and employees also need to be aware and cautious with information which could be misused.
The article Hiding from OSINT by James Bore appeared first on Circuit Magazine.

Whey protein can make you feel full for longer by regulating hunger and keeping your energy levels up. Leucine, one of the BCAAs in whey protein, will help stimulate energy production so you have adequate fuel to stay on your feet for prolonged periods if necessary.

Despite my successes, I've still felt like a student at best, but now finally considering myself a Specialist. Naively, many young protectors are eager to consider themselves "specialists" without undergoing the proper mentorship and gaining the practical experience needed to hold this title.
