OPSECâs most important characteristic is that it is a process. It is an analytical process that can be applied to any operation or activity for the purpose of denying critical information to an adversary.
Assess Risk. Match each vulnerability to a threat, and assign each one a risk level. The Interagency OPSEC Support Staff shows 'risk' the be the product of threat X vulnerability X impact, which demonstrates the true 'cost' should an adversary be successful or the overall value of the information that would be lost. This is the 'so what' factor of OPSEC, and the true selling point for a strong OPSEC program. Apply countermeasures Beginning with high-risk vulnerabilities, create a plan and implement countermeasures in order to mitigate the risk. The goal may be to lower or eliminate the risk, or to remove the threat's access to the resource. It's important to note that not all risks may be mitigated, depending on the resources available and likelihood of occurrence.
