“Operations Security can be described as the controls over the hardware in a computing facility,
the data media used in a facility, and the operators using these resources in a facility…A Cissp

be restricted, the control mechanisms that are available, the potential for access abuse, the
appropriate controls, and the principles of good practice.” -Ronald Krutz The CISSP PREP Guide
