Critical information: Information about friendly activities, intentions, capabilities, or limitations an adversary seeks in order to gain a military, political, diplomatic, economic, or technical advantage.
OPSEC is not just an issue for the United States. Adversaries seek to collect information on militaries in countries around the world. This article highlights Hamas efforts to collect information from unsuspecting Israeli Defense Force soldiers; it is a great example of how adversaries use social engineering and honeypots to establish trust with their target and then compromise them for information.
The Secretary of the Navy published guidance on the Department of the Navy’s Naval Operations Security (OPSEC) policy.
The ALNAV is intended to spread the broad...-reaching implications of the #USNavy's new policy to the widest possible operational audience and communicated the provisions to personnel outside the traditional information warfare community. #NavyCyber #MissionPartner

Ready to start celebrating the 241st Marine Corps Birthday a little early?
Here is the Commandant's Birthday Message to Marines.
Welcome back to work shipmates! Now is a great time to review your passwords and make sure they are secure. Just because your passwords fulfill the basic requirements does not mean they are secure. Take a minute this Monday morning to reduce your cyber vulnerabilities. #OPSEC
Strong passwords are an essential element of #cybersecurity. Both of which are key to maintaining a good #OPSEC posture. The following article can help you design strong, secure passwords.
Check out this #OPSEC message from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence

Naval Operations Security (OPSEC) shared their photo.
Always think #OPSEC first. Protect yourself, protect your shipmates, protect your family.
Ever wondered what it takes to catch a spy? Check out this story about legendary spy catcher Jeanne Vertefeuille and how she led the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) team that caught Soviet spy and CIA insider Aldrich Ames.
At the end of the day, counter-intelligence is all about protecting our information from falling into the hands of our adversaries; #OPSEC and counter-intelligence are two sides of the same coin.

- We are all in this together. As I stood in line waiting to be verif...ied and given my ballot...I thought of the history...the sacrifices...the honor it was that a person like me, would even have a say in the future of our nation. The ballot was handed to me along with advice on how to fill it out...I walked over to one of the dozen or so voting booths, with the red, white & blue curtains surrounding you for privacy. Names you heard everyday in the news and in political ads jumped out and I thought...this really is it...this is where I count! Locally, I know personally one person on the ballot, which I thought was cool..."Go Joey"!!! At the top...Pick one - President of the United States...it all hit home. I knew weeks ago who I wanted to fill the next four years...but was it right...should I change my mind...I paused...said a short prayer...looked at the choices again...my pen went to paper...the circle is filled. I felt a sigh of relief...good luck I whispered...God help us all. Now get out and vote...you do count...be a part of history. Peace & Love. Bill See More
