A practical guide to understanding and closing the infrastructure protection gap in an increasingly electronic world.
Modern civilization runs on an invisible foundation - electronics.
Power grids, communications networks, financial systems, and data centers are deeply interconnected and increasingly efficient. But efficiency has come at a cost: resilience.
In The Silent Flash, Jeff Kohl reveals a critical and often overlooked vulnerability-the growing gap between how infrastructure is protected and the realities of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) threats.
This is not a theoretical discussion. It is a practical, experience-driven examination of how modern systems can fail-and how those failures can cascade across sectors with devastating consequences.
Inside this book, you will discover:
Why today's infrastructure is more fragile than everHow EMP impacts extend far beyond the power gridThe hidden dependencies that create systemic riskWhy traditional disaster recovery strategies fall shortWhat organizations must do to move from awareness to resilienceDrawing on decades of real-world experience in infrastructure, data centers, and enterprise systems, Kohl provides a clear, actionable framework for understanding and addressing one of the most critical risks facing modern society.
This book is designed for:
executives and decision-makersinfrastructure and IT leadersrisk, security, and resilience professionalsThe question is no longer whether vulnerabilities exist.
The question is whether they are understood-and whether action will be taken before it is too late.
