19.01.2022
The first alert level ALFA-CRP, concerning cyberspace, has been introduced in Poland. Valid from Tuesday, January 18, 2022 (11:59 p.m.) through Sunday, January 23, 2022 (11:59 p.m.).
The ALFA-CRP alert level was introduced due to potential security risks to ICT systems due to identified threats resulting from the tense situation in the region. The purpose of introducing the alert level is to intensify monitoring of the state of security of information and communication systems of public institutions and critical infrastructure in terms of breaches of availability or possible attack attempts.
CRP alert degrees address the threat in cyberspace. The ALFA-CRP degree is the lowest of the four alert degrees specified in the Anti-Terrorism Activities Act. Above all, it is a signal to security services and the entire public administration to be extra vigilant.
Alert degrees shall be introduced, amended and revoked, by order, by the Prime Minister pursuant to the provisions of the Law of June 10, 2016 on Anti-Terrorist Activities.
All disturbing and unusual situations and threats should be reported to the Police via 112 number.
