What is infocon level?

The Infocon level, short for "Information Operations Condition," is a system used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to indicate the current threat level to information systems and networks. It ranges from Level 1 (Low) to Level 5 (Severe), with each level corresponding to the severity of the threat and the recommended actions for organizations to mitigate risks. The Infocon levels help guide organizations in implementing appropriate security measures and responses to protect against potential cyber threats.
