# PE-21 Electromagnetic Pulse Protection

NIST SP 800-53 control. Family: PE Physical and Environmental Protection. Function: preventative. In no baseline. Mapping licence: CC BY-SA 4.0.

Statement: Employ [Assignment: organization-defined protective measures] against electromagnetic pulse damage for [Assignment: organization-defined systems and system components].
Guidance: An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is a short burst of electromagnetic energy that is spread over a range of frequencies. Such energy bursts may be natural or man-made. EMP interference may be disruptive or damaging to electronic equipment. Protective measures used to mitigate EMP risk include shielding, surge suppressors, ferro-resonant transformers, and earth grounding. EMP protection may be especially significant for systems and applications that are part of the U.S. critical infrastructure.
