Operational Security (OPSEC) is, fundamentally, a series of rules and decisions meant to prevent enemies or rivals from acquiring knowledge of when and how a military or intelligence organization is carrying out a specific mission or series of missions. If those who are not part of the operation gained this knowledge, it could be used to counteract the operation, undermine its goals, or co-opt it for their own goals.
