Community Guidelines

As we belong to Lemmy.zip all of their guidelines apply on top of ours.

Stay on topic:
- Keep discussions related to OPSEC only
- If your post is about this community instead of OPSEC, prepend the prefix [META] to the title
- For the sake of organization, please label your posts with prefixes such as [NEWS], [GUIDE], [QUESTION], [MEME], and so on. While this isn’t standardized nor enforced, it helps keep everything nice and neat

What is OPSEC?

Operations security (OPSEC) is a process that identifies critical information to determine whether friendly actions can be observed by enemy intelligence, determines if information obtained by adversaries could be interpreted to be useful to them, and then executes selected measures that eliminate or reduce adversary exploitation of friendly critical information.

In simpler terms, it is the process of finding vulnerabilities that an adversary could exploit and patching them, thereby reducing your attack surface.

OPSEC is NOT a synonym for cybersecurity. It can encompass it; however, it also revolves around physical security.
