Electromagnetic Pulse and Cybersecurity Resilience in Critical Event Infrastructure: Hardening Digital Crowd Management Systems Against Nation-State and Natural Threats
As major events become increasingly dependent on interconnected digital systems for crowd control, occupancy monitoring, and emergency response, a comprehensive analysis of EMP vulnerability and cyber-attack vectors reveals critical gaps in infrastructure hardening. This study examines military-grade shielding protocols, air-gapped backup systems, and rapid recovery procedures for maintaining crowd safety when primary digital systems fail.
