What is the FPCON level used to denote an increased or more predictable threat?

• A. FPCON A
• B. FPCON B
• C. FPCON C
• D. FPCON D

Answer: (B)

Security posture is adjusted to match how credible and predictable a threat looks. When the threat is increased and more likely or predictable, the level used is Bravo. It means security measures are stepped up from normal, with more visible precautions like heightened access controls, more frequent patrols, and expanded surveillance, while operations continue rather than stopping. This level sits between Alpha, which covers an increased general threat, and Charlie, which is for imminent or ongoing threats, with Delta reserved for an actual attack or imminent post-attack conditions.
