The ALFA-CRP alert level was introduced due to potential security risks to ICT systems due to currently identified threats in cyberspace. The request for this measure was addressed to the Prime Minister by the Head of the Internal Security Agency responsible for the safety of information and communication systems of key importance for the state.

The aim of the ALFA-CRP alert level introduction is to intensify monitoring of the state of security of ICT systems of state institutions and critical infrastructure in terms of breaches of availability or possible attack attempts.

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. It means that public administration is obliged to conduct increased monitoring of the state of security of ICT systems. Among other things, public institutions will monitor and verify whether the security of electronic communication has been breached.

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.
