Welcome to The OPSEC Podcast - where operational security meets everyday life.
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. Because in a world where your data is currency and your privacy is under constant attack, the best defense is being your own first line of security.
Strong body, strong mind. Be the leader of your tribe. Welcome to The OPSEC Podcast.

For the past decade, people have underestimated the most powerful surveillance system ever built, not by intelligence agencies, but by corporations. Every movement you make, every store you walk into, every website you open, every conversation near your phone, it’s all collected, correlated, sold, and fed back into behavioural models more invasive than anything that Langley or the Kremlin could ever have dreamed of.
Your phone doesn’t just listen. It watches how you walk. It measures how you move. Not only that, but it predicts your emotional state, loneliness cycles, purchasing intent, and even what you’ll search next, before you search it.
And you’re paying for the privilege.
In this episode of The OPSEC Podcast, Allen and Ahmed break down how modern surveillance works when everyone (from convenience stores to dating apps to foreign intelligence services) is harvesting your data. Not by hacking you, but by exploiting the sensors you voluntarily carry.
You’ll discover:
Privacy isn’t dying, it’s being optimised out of existence.
Your devices broadcast more intel about you than most people will ever realise. And unless you actively shut down those signals, someone is always listening.
Your privacy is your responsibility. Do your due diligence, or accept the consequences.
