Privacy and OPSEC Training — Digital Security for Investigators
Protect your digital identity. From email security through VPN strategies to securing your entire digital life.
3 chapters, 17 lessons, lifetime access. All prices plus VAT.
Investigators Leave Digital Traces — Often Without Knowing It
If you research professionally, you are a target. Your email address, your phone number, your browser configuration, your home network: everything can be used to identify, locate, or compromise you.
Most investigators protect their targets better than themselves. Insecure passwords, missing two-factor authentication, unprotected networks, and unencrypted communication make you vulnerable.
What this means for you:
Without OPSEC, you endanger not only yourself but also your investigations and your clients. This training shows you step by step how to protect yourself.
What You'll Learn in This Training
Three focus areas that fundamentally improve your digital security.
Digital Foundation Security
Email security, password management, two-factor authentication, and secure mobile devices.
What this means for you:
The foundation is set. Your accounts, devices, and access points are secured.
Network and Browser
VPN strategies, browser hardening, data encryption, DNS protection, and secure home networks.
What this means for you:
Your connections are protected. Tracking and surveillance are effectively prevented.
Advanced and Damage Control
Hardware firewall, incident response, and mental health during challenging research.
What this means for you:
You know what to do when things go wrong, and you protect your mental health too.
