Abstract :
Financial systems are nowadays dependent on electronic data processing technology. One of the most frequent causes of failure in this highly sensitive system are overvoltages mostly caused by lightning. This paper describes how lightning electromagnetic pulse intrudes into computer information systems and causes system damage. Damage prevention is also discussed
