OPSEC stands for "operational security". OPSEC is not revealing your plans by indirect means.
All of the following are steps in the OPSEC process except "implementing security measures." The OPSEC process typically involves identifying critical information, analyzing threats, assessing vulnerabilities, and applying countermeasures to protect sensitive information. Implementing security measures may be a result of the OPSEC analysis but is not a formal step in the OPSEC process itself.
Analyzing threats in the OPSEC process involves identifying potential threats to your information or operations, determining the likelihood of those threats being realized, and assessing the potential impact they could have on your organization. This step is essential for understanding the risks you face and developing effective countermeasures to mitigate them.
