What type of process is used within the OPSEC program to protect critical information?

The OPSEC program uses a systematic process of identifying critical information, analyzing threats and vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and implementing countermeasures to protect sensitive information from adversary exploitation. It involves steps such as identifying the critical information, analyzing the threats that could compromise it, assessing the vulnerabilities that exist, and developing and implementing countermeasures to mitigate risks.
