INFOCON (short for information operations condition) is a threat level system in the United States similar to that of FPCON. It is a defense system based primarily on the status of information systems and is a method used by the military to defend against a computer network attack.
There are five levels of INFOCON, which recently changed to more closely correlate to DEFCON levels. They are:
Symantec's ThreatCon service no longer exists. Broadcom has acquired Symantec.[ citation needed]
In the TV Series, Crisis , the US government goes to INFOCON 2 when Francis Gibson has a massive cyber attack initiated upon the United States, nearly bringing it to war with China.
Strategic Command Directive (SD) 527-1 (2006-01-27).
