Operations Security
Operations Security, OPSEC, is a process that identifies unclassified critical information (CI), outlines potential threats and the risks associated and develops
counter measures to safeguard critical information.
OSPEC protects our operations- planned, in progress, and future. Success of these operations depends on secrecy. Military members can more safely carry out missions if
the element of surprise and secrecy is preserved. As family members of active duty members you have a unique responsibility to practice good OPSEC measures, and protect not only mission critical information, but your personal and family critical
information as well.

Operations Security
The OPSEC process teaches you to:
• Look at your daily activities from the enemies’ point of view.
• Understand what an enemy might learn about you and your family from the information and details that you make available.
• Assess the level of risk that this places on you and your family.
• Develop and apply counter measures, which help to prevent the enemy from obtaining your critical information and using it against you.

OPSEC Best Practices
• Be aware of your surroundings
• Be aware of the information that you are putting out in emails, online, phone conversations, photos and open unsecure conversations in public.
• Safeguard all sensitive, unclassified information.
• Think like the wolf. How can this information be used against me?
• Don’t discuss details– Time lines, detailed locations or movements
– Limitations/capabilities
– Specific names, ranks, job titles, budgets
– Future or current operations
– Security procedures
• Don’t spread rumors

• Information the adversary needs to prevent our success.
Critical Information
• Information we must protect to ensure success.
• Position • Capabilities• Operations • Personnel • Family
UNCLASSIFIED

Family Critical Information
Information to safe guard
• Names and photos of you, your children and co-workers
• Usernames, passwords, network details
• Job title, location, salary, clearances held

Data Aggregation
• Data/information collection from multiple sources
• Open source intelligence collection is a huge source of collection
– Internet– Trash– Media
• Open and legal public sources accounts for about 80% of all information collected
• There are many different legal and illegal collection methods
• Small details pieced together for a big picture

• Conventional Threats– Military opponents – Foreign adversaries/countries
• Unconventional Threats– Organized crime– Foreign terrorists– Home grown terrorism– Insiders (espionage)– Hackers, phishing scams– Thieves, stalkers, pedophiles
UNCLASSIFIED

capabilities• Information about military facilities:
- Location & Units - Weapons used - Exterior size and shape - Number of sailors & officers - Ammunition depot locations - Leave policies - Dates & times of operations
• Family details• Marital status
- Children & extended family members - Location of work, school, home etc

Indicators
Friendly detectable actions that reveal critical information & vulnerabilities:
• Longer working hours
• Flight plans, schedules, itineraries
• Rehearsals
• Sudden changes in procedures
• Purchases/on-load’s
• Blog’s/posts
• Routine predictable procedures
• Large troop movements
• Emblems, logo’s, distinctive markings

Vulnerability
Weakness the adversary can exploit to get critical information
• Vulnerabilities make you susceptible to intelligence/data collection.
• Poor security and sharing too much information are common, easily exploited vulnerabilities.
• Blogs, posts, emails, phone calls and conversations in restaurants, airports and other public places expose important information to potential adversaries and are a very common vulnerability.
UNCLASSIFIED
Navy IO Center of Excellence
Common Vulnerabilities
• Lack of Awareness
• Data aggregation
• Unsecure communications
• Social engineering
• Trash
• Technology
• Internet/social networking
• Blogs
• Predictable actions & patterns

Lack of AwarenessFrequently Asked Questions
But it’s secure! Right?
WRONG!
How much is too much?
What do I do if a family member is violating OPSEC procedures?
Details are dangerous. The less information you provide the safer you are.
As a rule only discuss events well after they have occurred.
When in doubt don’t say anything at all.
Address the issue with the person- ask them to remove the information and tell them why its important to think OPSEC.
If issues persist contact the command CMC for further clarification and resolution.

Unsecure Communications
• Unencrypted, unsecure communications are a common vulnerability
– Cell phones
– Cordless phones
– Blue tooth
– Open/over heard conversations

• Rosters
• Training details & schedules
• Itineraries & mail
• Phone trees
– Rank/position details
• What happens to the trash/recycling?
– Who owns/has access

Emerging TechnologyThere’s an App for that
• Phone carrier's push applications to users without prompts
• Convenience vs. vulnerability
• Friendly use vs. adversarial use
– How can this application be used against me?
• Terms of use & privacy issues
– What are you consenting to by using an app?
• What is the risk if your phone is lost or stolen? What data would then be available?
• Remote installation/activation possibilities
