Talk Back to Me

OPSEC, short for Operation Security is Military Jargon for keeping information vital to the security and success of an operation out out the hands of those who would use open source intelligence gathering tools to gain leverage against one's unit, people, or community. Maintaining a clear control of OPSEC is difficult to measure unless you are actively capable of discerning what an opposing force knows about you and your plans. Traditional and cultural references includes spy novels, thrillers, and a news broadcast that's a little to revealing about what is really going on behind the curtain. 

A double edged sword for any society which claims to be free, OPSEC includes governments actively taking steps to compartmentalize information and restrict its spread across even its own population. 

We start by comparing OPSEC to the board game STRATEGO, which helps build the concept. However, in our world where terms like "5th Generation Warfare" regularly appear in political discourse, the idea of Operation Security runs the risk of inciting paranoia.
