A single lightning strike near a Texas campus caused $1.2 million in damages to unshielded security devices last year. This shocking event highlights the hidden risks modern institutions face from electrical disturbances. With sensitive technology now powering everything from emergency alerts to research labs, campuses must rethink their defense strategies against invisible threats.
Advanced security networks and communication tools form the backbone of campus operations. Yet these critical assets remain exposed to voltage spikes that can strike without warning. Studies show 70% of equipment failures stem from transient surges – not sudden storms. Even minor fluctuations in power quality can cripple access controls or erase surveillance data.
