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.

Consumer Acceptance of Biometrics Opens Path to Confront Threat of AI Digital Fraud

People who use biometrics to access online accounts more satisfied than those who don’t, new research says

A new International Data Corporation (IDC) InfoBrief, sponsored by Mitek (NASDAQ: MITK), Biometrics Key to Customer Satisfaction and Combating AI-Generated Fraud*, was released today. The research finds that people who use biometrics to access online accounts register higher rates of satisfaction than those who don’t. Consumer acceptance of biometrics when used for identity protection means companies can confidently deploy multi-layered biometric authentication, the most powerful technology available to combat online fraud, while also increasing consumer satisfaction.

Digital payment fraud losses are projected to surpass $362 billion globally between 2023 and 2028, according to Juniper Research. Amidst the rising threat of AI-powered fraud, new data from IDC reveals that 83 percent of organizations surveyed said they have made investments in improving consumer authentication technology and processes. Additionally, 60 percent of company respondents said they are in the process of enabling multi-layered authentication while another one in three said they plan to deploy multi-layered authentication “in the next year or two.”

These more secure systems use multiple layers of biometrics, such as facial recognition combined with voice and fingerprint or other biometric, to authenticate a person’s identity. In addition to offering greater security, they have little to no maintenance overhead and eliminate today’s unpopular password-based authentication systems.

Key findings from IDC’s research into the consumer perspective:

  • 77 percent of consumer respondents who use biometrics on their smartphone or tablet said they are satisfied with the use of biometric identity authentication.
  • 25 percent of consumers surveyed said they have had one of their online accounts hacked or taken over by online criminals.
  • More than a third said they had switched to another company because of an unsatisfactory resolution to an online account hacking incident.
  • Consumers in general are unsatisfied with current username/password processes: one in three said that having to remember multiple usernames and passwords is their biggest authentication headache.

“Companies have dual responsibilities in the face of mounting online threats: reduce corporate risk and keep their customers safe and secure,” said IDC Associate Research Director Mark Child. “Our research confirms that consumers are ready to support – and in many cases prefer – biometric identity authentication systems when they enhance online safety.”

“Today’s commonly used authentication methods have become easier to circumvent and no longer provide adequate security for users,” said Adam Bacia, Senior Director of Product at Mitek. “We have to confront emerging threats – everything from voice clones and facial image spoofing to emerging AI-generated fraud – by using tools and technology capable of instantly spotting and blocking these threats.”
