a risk management process that focuses on preventing adversaries' access to sensitive information and actions that may compromise an operation.3 It involves identifying critical information and analyzing friendly actions attendant to military operations and other activities to identify those actions that can be observed by adversary intelligence systems, determine indicators and vulnerabilities that adversary intelligence systems might obtain that could be interpreted or pieced together to derive critical information in time to be useful to adversaries, and determine which of these represent an unacceptable risk.2 The objective ofOPSECis to prevent sensitive information from getting into the hands of an adversary, primarily by denying access to the data.0 The term"OPSEC"was coined by the United States military during the Vietnam War.
