That's exactly what lightning protection modules are. They are just transient voltage suppressors (TVS, just some diodes) tied to ground.

I don't think that works with EMPs since the pulse will induce a current in the protected circuit just as much as the path to ground, unless that path to ground is a full shield around the circuit.
