The bottom line of OPSEC (Operational Security) when developing countermeasures is to ensure that sensitive information is adequately protected to prevent adversaries from gaining insights into capabilities, intentions, or vulnerabilities. This involves identifying critical information, assessing risks, and implementing strategies that minimize exposure. Effective countermeasure development requires a proactive approach that balances operational effectiveness with the need for security. Ultimately, the goal is to safeguard operations while maintaining mission readiness.
