FRESNO, California – Cody Sarhan, Communications Specialist

As the world gears up for the 2024 solar eclipse, an event that will darken skies and draw millions of eyes upwards, a less visible but equally significant phenomenon looms on the horizon. Recent years have seen a significant spike in solar activity, with solar flares and storms disrupting technologies and communications, underscoring a stark reminder of our vulnerability. This upcoming eclipse serves not just as a natural wonder but as a critical juncture to reflect on and fortify against the cybersecurity risks posed by solar events and unpredictable weather conditions.

“This phenomenon would lead to a general blackout and the consequences would have an extraordinary economic impact due to the time needed to make the repairs.” — David Barrado Navascués, Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial

Dr. Tamitha Skov, a renowned space weather physicist, highlighted the impacts of a solar flare, causing hours-long radio blackouts and GPS disruptions worldwide. This event is part of a troubling trend of increased solar activity, which includes the massive sunspot AR3038, threatening Earth with potential widespread technological blackouts and damage in the trillions of dollars.
