What is Operational Security? (OPSEC)

Operational Security, or OPSEC, is a strategic approach to protecting sensitive information and critical operations from unauthorized access, exploitation, or exposure. Originally developed by the military, OPSEC is now widely adopted in both the private and public sectors as a framework to prevent inadvertent information leaks that could be used against an organization or individual.

At its core, OPSEC involves identifying what information needs to be protected, analyzing potential threats, assessing vulnerabilities, implementing countermeasures, and continuously monitoring the effectiveness of those measures.

For businesses and individuals, OPSEC includes everything from securing digital communications and networks to managing physical access, employee awareness, and day-to-day behaviors that may expose confidential information. It’s not just about technology—it's about habits, procedures, and proactive thinking.

Effective OPSEC reduces risk, strengthens resilience, and plays a critical role in an overall security posture, ensuring that both intentional attacks and accidental oversights are met with strong, practical defenses.
