What is OPSEC?

/m/opsec is dedicated to Operations Security (OPSEC), a strategic methodology geared towards minimizing vulnerabilities and reducing risk.

Initially stemming from military practices, OPSEC's scope has widened substantially, now playing a crucial role in a broad spectrum of areas such as law enforcement, digital security, residential safety, travel precautions, and beyond.

Remember, OPSEC is far from a simple checklist or a matter of using a VPN and maintaining discretion.

It encompasses various elements of security: INFOSEC (information security), APPSEC (application security), NETSEC (network security), COMSEC, TRANSEC, SIGSEC, EMSEC (communication, transmission, signals, and emission security), PHYSEC, PERSEC (physical and personal security), and even (CO)INTEL (counterintelligence).

Our objective in this community is to instill the OPSEC mindset: an objective view towards security that can be applied to any mission or plan.

The OPSEC Process

Identify the information you need to protect
Analyze the threats
Analyze your vulnerabilities
Assess the risk
Apply countermeasures

Understand your own risk/threat model: Who is your adversary? What needs protecting?

The OPSEC Two-Step: Know what to protect and know how to protect it.
