The damage may happen too quickly, similar to how typical fuses or circuit breakers won't protect you from a power surge or nearby lightning strike. Other tech would probably work though. Unfortunately, there's a lot of conflicting info on how powerful HEMP attacks, CMEs, etc would be/how much protection would be needed to have any effect at all. Having reliable info would greatly help for determining the feasibility of protecting systems all over the world. Regardless of 'criticality' even, as what good would the internet be if HN's servers and such are all down? ;)
