About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

HackEDU Secure Coding Report Uncovers Benefits of Security-First Mindset at the Software Development Stage

Third-Party Analysis Illustrates Rapid Developer Knowledge Gain During Real-Life Training Exercises

PITTSBURGH, PA / ACCESWIRE / May 5, 2022 / HackEDU, a global provider of unmatched secure coding training for developers, today announced the release of its Secure Coding Report: Injection Vulnerabilities that is now available for all to download.

The paper offers practical steps for development teams to institute security-first approaches for their teams, with a particular focus on battling injection vulnerabilities that continually top the OWASP list of threats. Facing a need to create software at an ever-escalating pace, developers find themselves in the midst of seemingly never-ending cyberattacks, yet an academic and ongoing training environment that traditionally hasn't emphasized security at the foundational level of software creation.

HackEDU partnered with Derek Brink, Vice President and Research Fellow at Aberdeen Strategy and Research, to analyze HackEDU's secure coding training results to provide insights into the effectiveness of a security-first approach.

Brink discusses the benefits of embracing DevSecOps and the related shift-left approach that prioritizes application security testing much earlier in the software development phase. He also notes how a significant number of developers initially lacked the needed secure coding training, but achieved extremely favorable outcomes following HackEDU training.

Injection Vulnerability Training Analysis

Brink analyzed six HackEDU courses in the injection vulnerabilities category to share the true value of secure coding training and proactively avoiding web application flaws rather than remedying them later. Analyzing nearly 140,000 exercises taken by developers on this subject across the past 12 months, he uncovered:

  • 45% of the developers were 100% successful in their first attempt to pass injection vulnerability courses
  • 93% of developers had successfully learned the skills and were able to remedy injection vulnerabilities and protect their organizations from data breaches linked to that source
  • 93% were also able to find and fix SQLi after less than 10 minutes of training - highlighting the ease at which a critical and pervasive flaw can be solved

"Analysis of the results of HackEDU's exercises with tens of thousands of developers has shown that it's possible to make a tremendous impact in a short amount of time with training that's not only effective but also embraced by developers on an ongoing basis," Brink said. "Secure coding training plus an optimal method of delivery -- such as HackEDU has demonstrated -- is a powerful combination for application security, one which enables an emphasis on prevention rather than the traditional and more costly focus on fixes."

HackEDU's training is designed for organizations seeking a continuous training program that can be automatically adaptive to vulnerabilities in software and also embraces proven learning science principles that drive engagement and learning retention. To download the report, click here.
