The Cyber Alert Level remains at Blue (Guarded):
The alert level is the overall current cyber threat level.
The Cyber Threat Level indicator displays the current level of malicious cyber activity and indicates the potential for or actual damage. The indicator comprises 5 levels:
Red or Severe Cyber Threat Level
Indicates a severe risk of hacking, virus, or other malicious activity resulting in widespread outages and/or significantly destructive compromises to systems with no known remedy or debilitating one or more critical infrastructure sectors. At this level, vulnerabilities are being exploited, resulting in severe or widespread damage or disruption to Critical Infrastructure Assets.
Orange or High Level
Indicates a high risk of increased hacking, virus, or other malicious cyber activity that targets or compromises core infrastructure, causes multiple service outages, multiple system compromises, or compromises critical infrastructure. At this level, vulnerabilities are being exploited with significant damage or disruption, or the potential for severe damage or disruption is high.
Yellow or Elevated Level
This indicates a significant risk of increased hacking, viruses, or malicious activity that compromises systems or disrupts service. At this level, known vulnerabilities are being exploited, resulting in moderate damage or disruption, or there is a high potential for significant damage or disruption.
Blue or Guarded Cyber Threat Level
Indicates a general risk of increased hacking, viruses, or other malicious activity. The potential for malicious cyber activity exists; however, no known exploits have been identified, and no significant impact has occurred.
Green or Low Cyber Threat Level
Indicates a low risk.
