Electromagnetic, Cyber & Infrastructure Disruption Analysis Workshop by Tonex
Resilience is built long before a crisis. This workshop equips technical and operational teams to analyze and prepare for high-impact disruptions across electromagnetic events, cyber incidents, and interdependent critical infrastructures. Participants learn to translate threat intelligence into practical risk scenarios and mitigation roadmaps that decision-makers can act on. Cybersecurity is central throughout: we examine how EMP/HEMP and grid instability expand attack surfaces, degrade controls, and complicate incident response. You will practice prioritizing protections that sustain identity, data, and command pathways when networks fragment. The result is a cross-disciplinary approach to continuity that blends engineering rigor with cyber defense realities.
Learning Objectives
- Explain EMP and HEMP physics, waveforms, and coupling mechanisms affecting assets.
- Map dependencies across power, telecom, and digital systems to anticipate cascading failures.
- Quantify disruption risk using consequence-likelihood impact models for executive decisions.
- Design layered technical and procedural controls that sustain essential services.
- Develop response playbooks that align engineering, IT, and operations for rapid recovery.
- Strengthen cybersecurity posture during EMP/HEMP-triggered outages and coordinated cyberattacks using resilient architectures and controls.
