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.

BioCatch Launches New Mule Account Detection Solution, Extending Fraud Protection Platform to Help Financial Institutions Address Money Laundering Epidemic

By: via Business Wire

BioCatch, the global leader in behavioral biometrics, announced today that it has launched Mule Account Detection, the first ever best-in-class solution that delivers comprehensive protection against money mules, people who, at someone else's direction, receive and move money obtained by criminal means.

Mule accounts are a critical link in the fraud supply chain, allowing criminals to cash out at the end of the money laundering process. Cybercriminals have used these schemes to capitalize on the global pandemic, resulting in new scrutiny from global regulators directed toward a financial institution’s detection and handling of money mule accounts.

When mule accounts are left unaddressed, financial institutions can face major financial loss, regulatory issues, and reputational risks. According to a recent survey by Aite-Novarica, 64% of executives state their institutions have taken a greater interest in tracking, detecting and preventing mule activity. The BioCatch Mule Account Detection solution addresses these concerns by running continuously in the background of every digital session, monitoring for anomalies that can suggest an account is operating as a money mule.

With billions being pumped into economic stimulus, the opportunity to defraud government programs afforded cybercriminals an unprecedented opportunity. To cover their tracks, fraudsters took advantage of the vulnerability of individuals by using their accounts to move money between financial systems around the world. Recruitment of money mules has been at an all-time high, with children and young adults being particularly vulnerable to money laundering schemes. According to Cifas, a not-for-profit fraud prevention organization based in the UK, there was a 78% increase this year in suspected money mule activity in the accounts of those under the age of 21.

“The issue of mule account detection is complex because there are many different scenarios at play. A financial institution could be dealing with a criminal using a stolen or synthetic identity to open a new account for money mule purposes or taking over the trusted account of an unwitting victim to launder stolen funds,” said BioCatch CEO, Gadi Mazor. “BioCatch Mule Account Detection applies machine learning risk models to look for the unique behaviors associated with multiple fraud scenarios indicative of mule activity at both the account opening and the point of payment.”

“Concern over the implications of the increased rates of mule activity resulting from the extraordinary amount of fraudulent payments intercepted from government stimulus programs is influencing how many financial institutions are incorporating mule detection capabilities into existing transformation programs,” said Trace Fooshee, Strategic Advisor in Aite-Novarica's Fraud & AML practice. “In some cases, financial institutions are restructuring policies and, even organizational structures, in order to more deliberately mitigate the risks.”

BioCatch’s fraud protection platform detects financial fraud across several use cases such as account opening fraud, account takeover, scams and now mule accounts. Built on innovative behavioral biometric technology BioCatch is leveraged by over 50 global financial institutions to reduce the emotional and financial impact of fraud and identity theft for their customers, providing trust and safety while protecting their assets from today’s most sophisticated fraud threats.
