Operational Security (OPSEC)

Operational Security (OPSEC) is a strategic process used to identify and protect sensitive information from adversaries. It involves analyzing what information could be exploited by others and implementing measures to prevent this. The goal is to reduce the risk of compromising operations, personal safety, or competitive advantage by controlling knowledge about activities, plans, or assets. Effective OPSEC requires awareness, careful communication, and disciplined behavior to ensure that critical details remain confidential and the organization's safety and success are maintained.
