Poland increases the alert level to CHARLIE-CRP amid cyber threats
22:09
The Polish govt increased the alert level two steps from ALFA-CRP to CHARLIE-CRPnowing to threats in cyberspace, on February 21.
Govt’s representative for cybersecurity, Janusz Cieszyński, informed that the reason for the decision is primarily the situation in Ukraine and the activities in Polish cyberspace.
Out of the four alert levels, this is the first time in the country the third level is introduced.
The third level is introduced in the event of an event confirming the probable target of a terrorist attack or obtaining reliable and confirmed information about the planned terrorist event.
The introduction of the Charlie-CRP alert means the need to organize round-the-clock duty hours of administrators of key systems for the functioning of a given organization and to review backup resources if they need to be used in the event of an attack. You should also be prepared to launch business continuity plans after a potential attack occurs.
