As far as your case goes, if the entire case is well bonded to itself and ground It should have no appreciable field inside. But any ingress (wires, antennas, etc.) are vulnerabilities.

Purpose built lightning protection is available for coaxial feedlines and you should use one for that. Polyphaser is among the most reputable manufacturers. As far as other surge protection, obviously all the power lines are vulnerable. This article is about LED lighting but has a lot of good information: https://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/litt...d_module_design_and_installation_guidepdf.PDF
