TEMPEST Filters & SCIF EMI Filters: Protecting Data at the Power Line

Secure environments demand more than cybersecurity controls. In high-security facilities, sensitive information can escape through unintended electromagnetic emissions carried by power lines. TEMPEST EMI filters and SCIF EMI filters exist to eliminate this hidden risk. Purpose of TEMPEST & SCIF EMI Filters Unlike standard EMI filters designed for noise reduction, TEMPEST and SCIF filters focus on information security . Their role is to suppress signal patterns that could be intercepted, analyzed, or reconstructed outside protected areas. Secure environments demand more than cybersecurity controls.

How to Prevent EMI from Compromising Sensitive Systems

EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) Is Invisible But Real Many equipment operators know what an electrical failure looks like, but not what causes it. Often, unpredictable failures come from electromagnetic noise that silently travels along power lines and signal cables, causing disruptions before anyone knows where to look. Nature of EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) and its propagation   is the root of many latent issues. Let’s explore how you can address this proactively. What Causes EMI Problems Power supplies, inverters, motor drives, and other high-speed switching circuits generate high-frequency noise. This noise, when conducted via power lines, affects both the device generating it and devices connected to the same lines. Systems without adequate suppression often fail certification testing, experience random resets, or encounter unexpected behavior under load - symptoms that appear unrelated until EMI is diagnosed as the culprit. Why EMI/RFI Filters Matter An EMI power l...

SCIF & Secure Facility EMI Filtering with Reduced kVAR Design

  Protecting Power in High-Security Facilities Isn’t Optional Secure facilities face a challenge most buildings never consider: electricity itself can become a security risk. EMI leakage, power fluctuation, and reactive loss can unintentionally expose signals or degrade operating stability. This is where SCIF EMI filters and secure facility EMI filtering become essential. These filters are designed to block conducted emissions at power entry points, preventing electromagnetic leakage from escaping protected environments. Unlike standard power conditioning, SCIF-grade systems prioritize containment, isolation, and integrity. But power quality goes beyond EMI isolation. Large secure installations run heavy electrical loads, which introduce reactive power inefficiencies. Reduced-kVAR filters address this by improving electrical efficiency while maintaining strict filtering characteristics. A low-kVAR SCIF design allows facilities to stabilize performance without introducing unn...
