Planetary Security Chief Nominations are now open!

Planet Security

If only! But no. 

Unfortunately, there is no Office of Planetary Security for our little, struggling planet.

But boy, do we need one!

In our tech-driven world, all infrastructures, supply chains, and product and service networks today are interconnected: the operation of pretty much anything depends on the operation of everything else.

What could possibly go wrong?

As we’ve seen over and over again, (baby formula disruption, blockaded grain shipments, pandemic-induced supply chain chaos, and so on), there is a downside to today’s tight interdependencies.

And that downside is quite grim.

Disrupt any one of these interconnected systems badly enough, and the whole system, that is, our system, could collapse.

Ok, pretty scary, under any circumstance. But that downside is particularly evident in times like these, with escalating successful cyber attacks on our critical infrastructures served up on your favorite news podcast daily, and let’s not forget the nuclear war threats courtesy of Mother Russia.

Ok, very scary. So, if there’s no planetary resilience management team to turn to, how can we get responsible and timely security advice? It’s simple: by coming together to work on a solution.

Where do we begin?

First and foremost, we need to unite secretaries of defense, national cyber security directors, State emergency managers, and other defense executives to work through black sky catastrophe scenarios in order to come up with solutions together. Check out our various events to join the discussion.

Second, we need to raise funds to secure our security measures. Want to help us? Contribute to our mission today.

Zero Day: The Silent Threat to Global Infrastructure Resilience

Imagine waking up to find entire cities without power, financial systems offline, and communication networks eerily silent — all without warning. No storms. No earthquakes. Just… darkness. This isn’t science fiction. It’s the real-world risk posed by Zero-Day vulnerabilities to critical infrastructure. At EIS Council, we believe understanding the invisible threats is just as important […]

Reviving Blackstart: Grid Resilience for an Uncertain Future

Blackstart capability—the ability to restore power without external electricity supply—is declining across the U.S., the UK, Europe, and beyond. As power grids face mounting threats, grid resilience is more critical than ever. EIS Council is leading the charge to enhance blackstart readiness through the strategic framework outlined in our recently published EPRO V Handbook: Blackstart […]

Please, do not miss it again!

Undoubtedly, we are at the starting point of a vast infrastructure replacement and development. The recent article of German Chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz, “Germany, Once a Beacon of Frugality, Jolts Europe With Planned Spending Splurge,” published in “The Wall Street Journal,” describes Germany’s infrastructures and administration situation.  Infrastructure challenges like those facing Germany are common across […]
