Episode 19: Operational Security

Operational security, or OPSEC, has had a renewed focus recently given the secretary of defense’s mandated OPSEC training for all Department of Defense employees. A few episodes ago, (E17) if you want to go check it out, we talked about the importance of protecting critical information, and the new DoD CUI standard for marking and safeguarding other than classified information. In this episode we have a conversation with Sean Crone to dig a little deeper into information protection. Sean is the industrial security lead and an OPSEC signature manager for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. During our discussion he defines operational security for us in both textbook terms, and in terms we can understand and apply in our day-to-day lives. He then explains why it's critically important to safeguard our other than classified information, and he provides us with insights on potential vulnerabilities we might not consider as we go about our daily lives.
