What is Security Culture? - Part 1 A security culture is a set of customs shared by a community, whose members may be targeted by the government, and is designed to minimize risk. Having a security culture in place saves everyone the trouble of having to work out safety measures over and over from scratch, and can help offset paranoia and panic in stressful situations—hell, it might keep you out of prison, too. The difference between protocol and culture is that cultures becomes unconscious, instinctive, and thus effortless; once the safest possible behavior has become habitual for everyone in the cirlces in which you travel, you can apend less time and energy emphasizing the need for it, or suffering the consequences of not having it, or worrying about how much danger youre in, as youll know youre already doing everything you can to be careful. If you are in the habit of not giving away anything sensitive about yourself, you can collaborate with strangers without to agonized about whether or.not they are informers; if everyone knows what not to talk about over the telephone, your enemies can tap the line all they want, and it wont get them anywhere. ~ From the first section of page 1 of the zine What Is Security Culture; A Guide To Staying Safe by Sprout Anarchist Collective in Grand Rapids, MI
