Summary/Abstract: The issue of announcing, changing and revoking alert levels and CRP alert levels for threats in the Polish cyberspace (CRP alert levels) is inseparably connected with anti-terrorist actions taken by public administration bodies. The Counter-Terrorism Act of 10 June 2016 sets out the principles of conducting counter-terrorism activities and the principles of cooperation between authorities in the scope of such activities. It specifies the bodies which are entitled to announce change and revoke alert levels and CRP alert levels. Until recently, alarm levels associated mainly with the protection of military command, agencies and institutions play an increasingly important role in the area of protection of the civilian population. The proof of this is the extension of the existing formula for the use of alarm levels in the civil (non-military) environment and the cyberspace of the Republic of Poland. The decision to announce, change and revoke an alert level and a CRP alert level depends on a number of factors, including the following: the reasons for their announcement, the division of competences of the bodies responsible with respect to their announcement, change and revocation, and the execution of projects required to be carried out for the introduction of particular alert levels or CRP alert levels.
