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.

Entrust Introduces First Commercially Available “Post Quantum Ready” PKI Platform

By: via Business Wire

Entrust PKI-as-a-Service lets enterprises transition to quantum resistant certificates right now, providing both composite and pure quantum certificates in minutes

Entrust, a global leader in trusted payments, identities, and data, has announced the general availability of its Post-Quantum Ready PKI-as-a-Service (PKIaaS PQ) platform. With this launch, the company’s cloud-based PKI as a Service offering now can provide both composite and pure quantum-safe certificate authority hierarchies, enabling customers to test or implement quantum-safe scenarios and infrastructure. This makes it the first commercially available platform of its type.

“Although the quantum threat is up to a decade away, we know the transition to quantum-safe algorithms won’t be just another crypto refresh cycle. To prepare, we need to move today’s public key cryptographic systems from their current state to new quantum safe cryptographic algorithms. This transition will be more complex than anything we’ve done in the past and will touch just about every piece of digital infrastructure and data we rely on today. Organizations should be looking at their Post Quantum (PQ) migration strategy now and implementing the tools and technology needed to test and migrate to quantum-safe security,” said Greg Wetmore, Vice President, Software Development at Entrust.

Backed by more than 25 years of Entrust PKI expertise and innovation, Entrust PKIaaS is a cloud-native service that simplifies PKI enterprise implementation and administration with pre-built, turnkey certificate use cases, including WSTEP, ACME, SCEP, and a broad range of mobile device management (MDM) solutions. The Entrust PKIaaS architecture also makes it simple for customers to scale on-demand by reducing on-premise services, applications, and software. It is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing workflows and applications, providing visibility, control, and automation of the environment from a single pane of glass, together with public SSL/TLS management via the cloud platform .

The addition of post-quantum cryptography, based on the NIST PQ draft standard algorithms, allows customers to issue quantum safe certificates in minutes, using both composite and pure quantum certificate authority hierarchies. This approach aligns with recommendations from global cybersecurity agencies such as the BSI in Germany and ANSSI in France, which recommend organizations test both hybrid and composite certificates as well as those based on pure quantum-safe algorithms.

“Leading national cybersecurity agencies around the world are recommending a hybrid approach to the transition to quantum safe data protection, with the use of hybrid or composite certificates to ensure protection in the form of classic and quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms. With this launch, Entrust can support this transition and provide rapid, and scalable certificate generation and management. This approach also enhances an organization’s wider Zero Trust implementation and maturity by protecting their sensitive data from the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat, and ensuring their digital security infrastructure remains secure once the quantum threat is realized,” added Wetmore.
